Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited reported a strong turnaround for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Voyage revenues rose to $136.4 million from $80.9 million a year earlier, lifting operating income to $21.8 million from a loss and net income to $16.7 million, or $0.38 basic EPS, versus a prior-year loss of $6.8 million. For the first half, voyage revenues were $250.8 million with net income of $26.3 million, compared with a loss in 2025.

Fleet performance improved, with fleet-average TCE rates up to $24,273 per day from $13,631, supported by stronger major and minor bulk markets. The company expanded its modern fleet by acquiring three large scrubber-fitted vessels and selling two older Supramax ships, ending the quarter with 43 vessels and expecting a 44th in August 2026. Cash from operations reached $48.9 million in the first half; cash stood at $73.6 million and undrawn availability under the $680 Million Revolver was $350.0 million, for total liquidity of $423.6 million. Debt principal increased to $330.0 million as the revolver was upsized. The board continued its dividend policy, declaring quarterly dividends including a subsequent $0.80 per share announcement after quarter-end, while also incurring $16.9 million of other operating expense tied to a non-routine 2026 annual meeting and proposals to purchase the company’s stock.

Filing Explained

The filing adds potential share issuance from equity awards and a $50.0 million revolver draw financing the August vessel delivery.

A Form 10-Q is the company’s unaudited quarterly report; this filing covers the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

After quarter-end, the company drew $50.0 million on its $680 Million Revolver to finance the remainder of the Genco Volunteer purchase, adding funded debt tied to that vessel acquisition.

The filing also reports potential future share issuance: 1,597,913 shares are outstanding in respect of restricted stock units, including 568,495 unvested RSUs, while 404,070 performance-based units and 69,284 stock options remained outstanding at June 30, 2026. If these awards settle in shares, the additional shares would increase the total share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes; the awards are not presented as an issuance of all those shares now.

The debt-funded vessel is expected to be delivered during August 2026, while the performance-based units are settled in shares only if earned after their three-year performance period.

Subsequent quarterly dividend $0.80 per share Regular quarterly dividend announced on August 5, 2026
Time Charter Equivalent financial
"Net voyage revenue is used to calculate the Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE")"
Time charter equivalent (TCE) converts the money a ship earns on specific trips into a single daily rate, so different voyages and contract types can be compared on the same scale. Think of it as translating various one-off jobs into a common “daily wage,” which matters to investors because it reveals how much a vessel or fleet is earning per day, helping assess operating profitability, cash flow and valuation across companies and market conditions.
Net-Zero Framework regulatory
"MEPC approved draft regulations forming the IMO Net-Zero Framework"
Emission Control Area regulatory
"designating the North-East Atlantic as an Emission Control Area"
performance-based restricted stock units financial
"granted 210,826 restricted stock units and 118,596 performance-based restricted stock units"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
variable interest entity financial
"Management has determined that GSSM qualifies as a variable interest entity"
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a company structure where one party controls another company’s operations and economic outcomes through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its voting shares. For investors, VIEs matter because the controlling party’s financial results, debts and risks can appear in the controller’s reports even though ownership looks separate, so understanding VIEs helps assess true exposure, governance limits and transparency—like spotting a puppet controlled by strings rather than direct ownership.
Newcastlemax technical
"fleet consisted of 43 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax vessels"
A Newcastlemax is a classification for the largest bulk cargo ships designed to fit the size limits of major coal and commodity export ports, named after a prominent Australian port. Think of it as the biggest truck that can still pass through a particular loading dock: using a Newcastlemax generally lowers per-ton shipping costs because one voyage carries more cargo, so changes in their availability, demand or operating costs can noticeably affect freight rates, commodity delivered prices and the value of shipping firms.

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited

(U.S. Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Data)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels and operates in two reportable segments. Refer to Note 3 — Segment Reporting.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s fleet consisted of 43 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax vessels, 17 Capesize vessels, 15 Ultramax vessels and nine Supramax vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 4,935,000 deadweight tons (“dwt”) and an average age of approximately 12.7 years.

During September 2021, the Company and Synergy Marine Pte. Ltd. (“Synergy”), a third party, formed a joint venture, GS Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd. (“GSSM”). GSSM is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Synergy as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and was formed to provide ship management services to the Company’s vessels. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative investments GSSM received from the Company and Synergy totaled $50 and $50, respectively, which were used for expenditures directly related to the operations of GSSM.

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

2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures and footnotes normally included in complete consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026 (the “2025 10-K”). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and GSSM. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Use of estimates

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

Table of Contents

Bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements

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

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $351 and $4 of realized gains in other income (expense), respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded ($238) and $0 of unrealized losses in other income (expense), respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $311 and $12 of realized gains in other income (expense), respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $0 and $6 of unrealized gains in other income (expense), respectively.

There were no bunker swap agreements or forward fuel purchase agreements recorded at fair value in an asset or liability position as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters and spot market-related time charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance, which are recorded as part of vessel operating expenses, are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters. As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters and spot market-related time charters. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net gain (loss) of $1,164 and ($422) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and a net gain (loss) of $2,724 and ($391) during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Impairment of vessel assets

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $1,198 and $1,726, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $651 related to the impairment of vessels assets in accordance with ASC 360. The impairment expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 of $1,198 and $1,726, respectively, and $651 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, is related to the loss on disposal of replaced equipment on certain vessels.

Net gain on sale of vessels

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,942 and $4,017, respectively, related to the sales of the Genco Picardy and the Genco Predator on March 30, 2026 and April 15, 2026,

Table of Contents

respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not complete the sale of any vessels. Refer to Note 5 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale of these vessels.

Other operating expense

Other operating expense of $13,052 and $16,877 recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, consist of costs for non-routine aspects of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and costs associated with proposals to purchase the Company’s common stock.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2026-02 (“ASU 2026-02”), Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which provides recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for entities that generate, purchase or receive environmental credits or have regulatory compliance obligations that may be settled with environmental credits. ASU 2026-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk vessels. The Company’s vessels regularly move between countries in international waters, over hundreds of trade routes and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable. The Company owns a fleet of vessels that focuses on Newcastlemax, Capesize, Ultramax and Supramax vessels. Newcastlemax and Capesize vessels represent the Company’s major bulk vessels category while Ultramax and Supramax vessels represent the Company’s minor bulk vessel category.

The Company has determined that each of its vessels are individual operating segments. The Company determined its operating segments based on how its chief operating decision maker (CODM), John C. Wobensmith, Chief Executive Officer and President, manages the business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The CODM reviews the operating results for the Company’s fleet and also considers certain aggregate financial data for the Company’s major bulk and minor bulk vessels. The Company’s major and minor bulk vessels have similar economic characteristics as they serve the same type of customers, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, and operate in the same regulatory environment. Based on the principles of ASC 280 — “Segment Reporting,” the Company believes it is meaningful and informative to aggregate its operating segments into two reportable segments for the major bulk and minor bulk fleet.

With the exception of the financial statement information below that comprises the segment profit, the CODM does not evaluate any other financial statement line items on a vessel category basis, but rather on a consolidated basis.

(1) Net voyage revenue is used to calculate the Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE"), which is reviewed by the CODM and 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. This amount includes realized gains (losses) on fuel hedges that were recorded as part of Other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

5 – VESSEL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Vessel Acquisitions

On April 16, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 2019-built, 182,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, which is to be renamed the Genco Volunteer, for a purchase price of $65,000. The vessel is expected to be delivered during August 2026. As a result of the delay in the delivery of the vessel, the purchase price will be reduced by approximately $1.0 million representing $20 per day beginning June 15, 2026 through the date the vessel is ready for sale under the agreement. The Company paid the $6,500 deposit on May 1, 2026 utilizing cash on hand, which was held in an escrow account until the Company took delivery of the vessel. The Company drew down $50,000 on its $680 Million Revolver on July 15, 2026 to finance the remainder of the purchase.

On November 15, 2025, the Company entered into agreements to acquire two 2020-built 208,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Newcastlemax vessels for a total purchase price of $145,500. These vessels, which were renamed Genco Stars and Stripes and Genco Valkyrie, were delivered on March 5, 2026 and March 24, 2026, respectively. The Company drew down $30,000 on the $600 Million Revolver on November 20, 2025 in part to fund the $14,550 deposit made on November 24, 2025, which was held in an escrow account until the Company took delivery of the vessels. The Company drew down $65,000 on its $600 Million Revolver on February 23, 2026 and $65,000 on its $680 Million Revolver on March 16, 2026 to finance the remainder of the purchases.

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 2020-built, 182,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, which was renamed the Genco Courageous, for a purchase price of $63,550.

Vessel Dispositions

On February 24, 2026, the Company entered into agreements to sell the Genco Picardy and the Genco Predator, both 2005-built Supramax vessels, to a third party for $10,600 each less a commission payable to a third party. These vessels were unencumbered. The sales of the Genco Picardy and Genco Predator were completed on March 30, 2026 and April 15, 2026, respectively.

6 – NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The computation of basic net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 13 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.

There were 286,254 stock options, 324,695 performance based restricted stock units and 645,671 restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 because they were anti-dilutive (refer to Note 13 — Stock-Based Compensation).

The carrying value of the borrowings under the $680 Million Revolver and the $600 Million Revolver as of June 30, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025, respectively, which exclude the impact of deferred financing costs, approximate their fair value due to the variable interest nature thereof as these credit facilities represent floating rate loans. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 items, as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item, as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transactions amongst third parties. Bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements are considered to be Level 2 items. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information. Nonrecurring fair value measurements include vessel impairment assessments completed during the interim period and at year-end as determined based on third-party quotes, which are based on various data points, including comparable sales of similar vessels, which are Level 2 inputs. There was no vessel impairment recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

19

Table of Contents

The fair value determination for the operating lease right-of-use assets is based on third-party quotes, which is considered a Level 2 input. Nonrecurring fair value measurements may include impairment tests of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets if there are indicators of impairments.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no indicators of impairment of the operating lease right-of-use assets.

The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of 69,284 and 71,462 stock options were outstanding, respectively.

There was no remaining unamortized stock-based compensation as of June 30, 2026.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any nonvested stock amortization expense of the fair value of its stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), to certain members of the Board of Directors and certain executives and employees of the

21

Table of Contents

Company, which represent the right to receive a share of common stock, or in the sole discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee, the value of a share of common stock on the date that the RSU vests. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 1,597,913 and 1,330,383 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding in respect of the RSUs, respectively. Such shares will only be issued in respect to vested RSUs issued to directors when the director’s service with the Company as a director terminates. Such shares of common stock will only be issued to executives and employees when their RSUs vest under the terms of their grant agreements and the 2015 Plan.

The RSUs that have been issued to certain members of the Board of Directors generally vest on the date of the annual shareholders meeting of the Company following the date of the grant. In lieu of cash dividends issued for vested and nonvested shares held by certain members of the Board of Directors, the Company will grant additional vested and nonvested RSUs, respectively, which are calculated by dividing the amount of the dividend by the 30-trading day trailing volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date and will have the same terms as other RSUs issued to members of the Board of Directors.  The RSUs that have been issued to other individuals vest in equal installments on each of the anniversaries of the determined vesting date, over the three or five year vesting periods, as applicable.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under the 2015 Plan to certain employees of the Company, some of which are contingent upon the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) and some of which are contingent upon the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) for a three-year performance period. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 74,645 and 0 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding in respect of the PRSUs, respectively.

The TSR is calculated based on the Company’s total shareholder return compared to that of certain peer companies specified in the award agreements over the performance period and is calculated based on the change in the average daily closing stock price over a 20 trading-day period from the beginning to the end of the performance period, including reinvested dividends. The total quantity of PRSUs eligible to vest under these awards range from zero to 200% of the target based on actual relative TSR performance during the performance period. The grant date fair value of the TSR awards was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation for these awards, which are subject to market conditions, is being amortized over the service period.

The grant date fair value of the ROIC awards was estimated using the closing share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The total quantity of PRSUs eligible to vest under these awards range from zero to 200% of the target based on actual ROIC performance during the performance period. As such, ROIC awards are subject to performance conditions and compensation cost is recognized over the service period based on the amount of awards that the Company believes is probable that will vest. To the extent the Company’s estimate changes, the Company will recognize a cumulative catch up in subsequent reporting periods.

There were no PRSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The PRSUs, if earned, will ordinarily be settled in shares of common stock issued during the first quarter after the three-year performance period and the recipient will receive a share of common stock for each earned PRSU. If 100% of the target metric is achieved, the recipient will earn 100% of the target amount of the PRSUs originally granted. However, based on actual performance, the number of PRSUs earned will change based on the ranges described above.

As of June 30, 2026, unrecognized compensation cost of $4,377 related to PRSUs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.45 years.

14 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be subject to other 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 such 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.

15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Genco Volunteer, a 2019-built, 182,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, is expected to be delivered during August 2026. The Company drew down $50,000 on its $680 Million Revolver on July 15, 2026 to finance the remainder of the purchase. Refer to Note 5 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions.

On August 5, 2026, the Company announced a regular quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share to be paid on or about August 24, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2026. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be approximately $35.6 million based on the number of shares currently outstanding, and the Company anticipates funding the dividend from cash on hand at the time the payment is to be made.

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

“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “budget”, “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this report are the following: (i) declines or sustained weakness in demand in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) weakness or declines in drybulk shipping rates; (iii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iv) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the cargo industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations or by individual countries and actions taken by regulatory authorities; (vi) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance, general and administrative expenses, and management expenses; (vii) whether our insurance arrangements are adequate; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) military actions, terrorism, or piracy, including without limitation the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, related attacks on commercial vessels, and other conflicts in the Middle East; (x) changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (xi) the Company’s acquisition or disposition of vessels; (xii) the amount of offhire time needed to complete maintenance, repairs, and installation of equipment to comply with applicable regulations on vessels and the timing and amount of any reimbursement by our insurance carriers for insurance claims, including offhire days; (xiii) the completion of definitive documentation with respect to charters; (xiv) charterers’ compliance with the terms of their charters in the current market environment; (xv) the extent to which our operating results are affected by weakness in market conditions and freight and charter rates; (xvi) our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operation, to obtain and maintain acceptable terms with our vendors, customers and service providers and to retain key executives, managers and employees; (xvii) completion of documentation for vessel transactions and the performance of the terms thereof by buyers or sellers of vessels and us; (xviii) the relative cost and availability of low sulfur and high sulfur fuel, worldwide compliance with sulfur emissions regulations that took effect on January 1, 2020 and our ability to realize the economic benefits or recover the cost of the scrubbers we have installed; (xix) our financial results for the year ending December 31, 2026 and other factors relating to determination of the tax treatment of dividends we have declared; (xx) the financial results we achieve for each quarter that apply to the formula under our dividend policy, including without limitation the actual amounts earned by our vessels and the amounts of various expenses we incur, as a significant decrease in such earnings or a significant increase in such expenses may affect our ability to carry out our new value strategy; (xxi) the exercise of the discretion of our Board regarding the declaration of dividends, including without limitation the amount that our Board determines to set aside for reserves under our dividend policy; (xxii) outbreaks of disease such as the COVID-19 pandemic; (xxiii) trade conflicts, the imposition or modification of port fees, tariffs and other import restrictions, and the effectiveness and cost of any measures the Company may adopt to avoid or mitigate the impact of the foregoing; and (xxiv) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q. Our ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon various factors, including the limitations under any credit agreements to which we may be a party, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial performance, market developments, and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves. As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Table of Contents

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 New York City-based pure-play drybulk ship owning company focused on the seaborne transportation of commodities globally. We transport key cargoes such as iron ore, coal, grain, bauxite, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes. After the expected delivery of the Genco Volunteer during August 2026, our fleet will consist of 44 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax, 18 Capesize, 15 Ultramax and 9 Supramax vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 5,117,000 deadweight tons (“dwt”) and an average age of approximately 12.7 years.

See pages 37-38 for a table of our current fleet.

Our approach towards fleet composition is to own a high-quality fleet of vessels focused on Newcastlemax, Capesize, Ultramax and Supramax vessels. Newcastlemax and Capesize vessels represent our major bulk vessel category, while Ultramax and Supramax vessels represent our minor bulk vessel category. Our major bulk vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore, coal and bauxite, while our minor bulk vessels are primarily used to transport grains, steel products and other drybulk cargoes such as cement, scrap, fertilizer, nickel ore, salt and sugar. This approach of owning ships that transport both major and minor bulk commodities provide us with exposure to a wide range of drybulk trade flows.

We employ an active commercial strategy which consists of a global team located in the U.S., Denmark and Singapore. Overall, we utilize a portfolio approach to revenue generation through a combination of short-term, spot market employment, index-linked time charters as well as opportunistically booking longer term fixed-rate coverage or contracts of affreightment depending on market conditions and management’s outlook. Our fleet deployment strategy currently is weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provides us with optionality on our sizeable fleet.

Our approach to capital allocation focuses on three key factors:

Compelling quarterly dividends,
Low financial leverage, and
Accretive growth and renewal of our fleet

Since 2021, we have executed this strategy by reducing our debt by $119.2 million cumulatively through June 30, 2026 while expanding our core major bulk and minor bulk segments. These actions have enabled us to further reduce our cash flow breakeven rate positioning us to pay sizeable quarterly dividends across various market environments.

In addition to the $73.6 million of cash on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, we had undrawn revolver availability of $350.0 million, bringing our total liquidity to $423.6 million.

Including the $0.80 dividend for the second quarter of 2026, we have declared 28 consecutive quarterly dividends, which total $8.715 per share.

IMO 2023 Compliance Requirements

The International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) implemented two key measures to enhance energy efficiency in international shipping with effect from January 2023 which are as follows:

Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (“EEXI”): Requires vessels of 400 gross tonnage and above which were already in operation at the time the regulation entered force to meet specific minimum energy efficiency standards.

26

Table of Contents

Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”): Mandates ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above to annually report their carbon intensity against a gradually more stringent target trajectory. Vessels receive ratings from A (best) to E (worst) and must implement corrective action plans if poorly rated.

The IMO is currently undertaking the second phase of its review of the EEXI, CII, and Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (“SEEMP”) framework. The review includes consideration of potential revisions to CII reduction factors, calculation methodologies, correction factors, and implementation requirements. The timing, scope, and outcome of this review remain uncertain and could affect future vessel efficiency ratings and associated compliance requirements.

Revised IMO GHG Strategy

In July 2023, the IMO adopted an updated greenhouse gas (“GHG”) strategy, setting forth the following targets:

Reduce total annual GHG emissions from shipping by at least 20%, striving for 30%, by 2030 compared to 2008 levels,
Achieve at least a 70% reduction, striving for 80%, by 2040,
Reach net-zero GHG emissions by around 2050.

IMO Net-Zero Framework

At its 83rd session in April 2025, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (“MEPC”) approved draft regulations forming the IMO Net-Zero Framework. Key components include:

A new global fuel standard for ships, establishing a phased reduction in the carbon intensity of marine fuels calculated on a “well-to-wake” basis.

A global pricing mechanism for GHG emissions that aims to reduce the cost gap between conventional and zero or near-zero GHG emission fuels through a two-tier compliance system where vessels exceeding the gradually more stringent emission limits will pay fees into a Net-Zero Fund established by the IMO.

At the second extraordinary session of the MEPC, held in October 2025 specifically to consider formal adoption of the IMO Net-Zero Framework as approved at MEPC’s 83rd session, a lack of consensus among member states led to an unexpected adjournment of the session for one year.

At MEPC’s 84th session in April 2026, member states did not reach agreement on adoption or substantive revision of the IMO Net-Zero Framework. The Framework remains the central basis for ongoing negotiations, with two intersessional working group meetings agreed for September 2026 and November 2026 to address remaining concerns and issues with the current draft amendments.

MEPC’s 85th session is scheduled for November 30 to December 3, 2026. Subject to decisions made at MEPC 85, the adjourned second extraordinary session is expected to be resumed directly thereafter, on December 4, 2026, to continue consideration of adoption of the IMO Net-Zero Framework.

Based on the outcomes of MEPC’s 84th session, the IMO Net-Zero Framework is not expected to enter into force before 2028, although continued lack of consensus or further revisions could further delay implementation.

In the IMO Net-Zero Framework’s current form, any vessel consuming conventional fossil fuels would be required to transfer surplus credits from over-compliant vessels, purchase remedial credits through contributions to the Net-Zero Fund, or both to clear its compliance deficit. The timing and final design of these measures remain uncertain but could result in increased compliance costs for drybulk vessels operating on conventional fuels.

Expansion of Emission Control Areas

In May 2026, the IMO adopted amendments designating the North-East Atlantic as an Emission Control Area for sulfur oxides, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. The amendments are expected to enter into force on September 1, 2027. Vessels operating within the area will be subject to more stringent air-emission requirements, including a 0.10% sulfur limit or the use of an approved equivalent compliance method, which may increase fuel, operational and compliance costs.

United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme

The United Kingdom (“UK”) government has confirmed the expansion of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (“UK ETS”) to the maritime sector. The UK ETS Authority has published its final response, which provides for the following:

The UK ETS maritime regime started on July 1, 2026 with the first reporting period running through December 31, 2026 and subsequent reporting periods on a full calendar year basis.
Verified emissions reports for the initial reporting period ending December 31, 2026 must be submitted by March 31, 2027.
The deadline for surrendering of allowances against verified emissions will be April 30 of the year following the reporting period, however allowances for 2026 will not need to be surrendered until April 30, 2028, together with the 2027 allowances.
The UK ETS will include all domestic voyages. All emissions within a voyage will be included, including while at anchor and while moored. In addition, all in-port emissions from ships which are travelling domestically, internationally, or both will be included.
The UK ETS Authority intends to expand the UK ETS to include 50% of emissions from international maritime voyages starting or ending in a UK port by 2028.
The regime applies to vessels of 5,000 gross tonnage and above and covers carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions.

The UK government continues to consider the future inclusion of international maritime voyage emissions within the UK ETS.

Regional Carbon Taxing Schemes

In addition to the EU’s established regional schemes, several national carbon taxing schemes have been implemented recently, most notably by Djibouti and Gabon. Liberia announced a carbon levy in early 2026 only to formally reverse its position several days later. While these recent schemes apply a relatively small price to emissions from ships that call these countries, they contribute to increasing regulatory fragmentation and complexity. This fragmentation may be exacerbated by the delay and uncertainty surrounding the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework. Continued lack of consensus at IMO may also encourage broader adoption of regional or national carbon pricing measures by other jurisdictions. It is also possible that regional and national carbon taxing schemes will become more difficult to repeal once the IMO Net-Zero Framework enters into force, potentially resulting in overlapping taxation.

Biofouling Regulation

Brazil implemented biofouling regulations designed to minimize the risk of ships introducing invasive aquatic species, requiring vessels to arrive with a “clean hull” to comply with the regulations. In June 2026, the Brazilian Maritime Authority postponed the application of penalties and sanctions for non-compliance until January 10, 2028, while confirming that the underlying biofouling requirements remain in force. Brazil’s biofouling regulations are aligned with the IMO’s 2023 Biofouling Guidelines and similar to existing requirements in Australia and New Zealand. Biosecurity concerns coupled with growing safety and environmental restrictions on underwater hull and propeller cleaning point toward an emerging area of regulatory and operational complexity and underscore the importance of proactive antifouling strategies.

28

Table of Contents

At MEPC 83 in April 2025, the Committee formally agreed to develop a legally binding instrument for the control and management of ships’ biofouling. This decision reflects a shift to elevate biofouling management, currently governed by the voluntary 2023 Biofouling Guidelines to an enforceable regime comparable to the Ballast Water Management Convention. The development process is structured around a multi-year work plan. Technical drafting began at the Pollution Prevention and Response (“PPR”) 13 sub-committee meeting in February 2026. At MEPC 84 in April 2026, the Committee agreed that the instrument should be developed as a standalone legally binding instrument. The detailed requirements, implementation timeline, and entry into force remain under development, although the IMO currently expects the final instrument to be adopted by 2029, with a likely entry into force around 2031 or 2032.

Vessel Acquisitions and Sales

Acquisitions

On April 16, 2026, we entered into an agreement to acquire a vessel that is to be renamed the Genco Volunteer, a 2019-built, 182,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, for a purchase price of $65.0 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered during August 2026. As a result of the delay in the delivery of the vessel, the purchase price will be reduced by approximately $1.0 million representing $20,000 per day beginning June 15, 2026 through the date the vessel is ready for sale under the agreement. We paid the $6.5 million deposit on May 1, 2026 utilizing cash on hand, which was held in an escrow account until we took delivery of the vessel. We drew down $50.0 million on our $680 Million Revolver on July 15, 2026 to finance the remainder of the purchase.

On November 15, 2025, we entered into agreements to acquire two 2020-built 208,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Newcastlemax vessels for a total purchase price of $145.5 million. The vessels, that were renamed Genco Stars and Stripes and Genco Valkyrie, were delivered on March 5, 2026 and March 24, 2026, respectively. We drew down $30 million on the $600 Million Revolver on November 20, 2025 in part to fund the $14.6 million deposit made on November 24, 2025, which was held in an escrow account until we took delivery of the vessels. We drew down $65 million on our $600 Million Revolver on February 23, 2026 and $65 million on our $680 Million Revolver on March 16, 2026 to finance the remainder of the purchases.

On July 10, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire a vessel that was renamed the Genco Courageous, a 2020-built, 182,000 dwt scrubber-fitted Capesize vessel, for a purchase price of $63.6 million. The vessel was delivered on October 15, 2025. We drew down $10 million on our $500 Million Revolver on June 26, 2025 in part to fund the $6.4 million deposit made on July 23, 2025. We drew down $60 million on our $600 Million Revolver on September 16, 2025 to finance the remainder of the purchase.

Sales

On February 24, 2026, we entered into agreements to sell the Genco Picardy and the Genco Predator, both 2005-built Supramax vessels, to a third party for $10.6 million each less a commission payable to a third party. The Genco Picardy and Genco Predator were delivered to their third-party buyers on March 30, 2026 and April 15, 2026, respectively.

We will continue to seek opportunities to renew our fleet going forward. 

Our Operations

Our major and minor bulk vessels have similar economic characteristics, as they serve the same type of customers, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Therefore, we have determined that each of our vessels are individual operating segments. We believe it is meaningful and informative to aggregate our operating segments into two reportable segments for the major bulk and minor bulk fleet.

Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types of charters, such as time charters, spot market 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. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Our technical management joint venture, GS Shipmanagement Pte. Ltd. (“GSSM”), currently provides the technical management to the vessels in our fleet and members of our New York City-based management team oversee their activities.

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) Chartered-in days. We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in third-party vessels.

(3) Available days (owned and chartered-in fleet). We define available days as the number of our ownership days and chartered-in days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to familiarization upon acquisition, repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys. 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.

(4) Available days (owned fleet). We define available days for the owned fleet as available days less chartered-in days.

33

Table of Contents

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

(6) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization as the number of our operating days during a period divided by the number of ownership days plus chartered-in days less drydocking days.

(7) Time charter equivalent. We define time charter equivalent (“TCE”) rates as our voyage revenues less voyage expenses, charter-hire expenses and realized gains or losses on fuel hedges, divided by the number of the available days of our owned fleet during the period. TCE rate is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure). However, it 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.

(8) Daily vessel operating expenses.  We define daily vessel operating expenses to 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. Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.

(1)EBITDA represents net income (loss) 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 a 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

Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, voyage revenues increased by $55.5 million, or 68.5%, to $136.4 million as compared to $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher rates earned by our major and minor bulk vessels, the operation of a larger fleet, as well as fewer drydocking days during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, freight rates were stronger on a year-over-year basis, reaching multi-year highs, led by strong iron ore, bauxite and coal trades together with limited net fleet growth.

Various geopolitical factors continue to impact the macroeconomic environment as well as freight rates. These factors include tariffs and trade protectionism, the war in Iran, the war in Ukraine, and attacks on commercial vessels in the Middle East. Such attacks have reduced drybulk vessel transits through the Suez Canal, increasing vessel sailing distances and effectively reducing available vessel capacity. Government intervention to reduce commodity exports, such as a cap to bauxite shipments originating from Guinea, could reduce cargo volumes and negatively impact freight rates.

The average TCE rate of our overall fleet increased 78.1% to $24,273 a day during the second quarter of 2026 from $13,631 a day during the second quarter of 2025. The TCE for our major bulk vessels increased by 98.5% from $17,019 a day during the second quarter of 2025 to $33,784 a day during the second quarter of 2026. This increase was primarily a result of higher rates achieved by our Capesize vessels, and the purchase of two Newcastlemax vessels. The TCE for our minor bulk vessels increased by 45.2% from $11,727 a day during the second quarter of 2025 to $17,031 a day during the second quarter of 2026 primarily a result of higher rates achieved by our Ultramax and Supramax vessels.

38

Table of Contents

Fleet utilization increased marginally from 98.3% during the second quarter of 2025 to 98.6% during the second quarter of 2026. From July 1, 2026 until December 31, 2026, we expect approximately 255 days of offhire related to scheduled drydockings and special surveys. Refer to “Capital Expenditures” section below for further details.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

In time charters and spot market-related time charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance, which are recorded as part of vessel operating expenses, are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters. 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 spot market 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. Voyage expenses also include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement. Additionally, we may record lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Voyage expenses increased from $32.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $44.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, higher bunker consumption and higher overall port and agency fees, partially offset by the operation of a lower number of third-party chartered-in vessels.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.8 million from $23.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $26.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily due to higher crew costs and insurance costs, as well as the timing of the purchase of stores and spares.

Average daily vessel operating expenses (“DVOE”) for our fleet increased to $6,757 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $6,213 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in daily vessel operating expense was primarily due to higher crew costs and insurance costs, as well as the timing of the purchase 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 vessel operating expenses 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. Crew costs on our vessels could increase in the future due to higher wages as a result of the potential impact of the war in Iran and related attacks on commercial vessels, the war in Ukraine, and other conflicts in the Middle East, among other potential macroeconomic events. The potential impact of these items are unpredictable, and the actual amount of our DVOE could be higher or lower than budgeted as a result.

The DVOE budget for the third quarter of 2026 is expected to be $6,750 per vessel per day on a fleet-wide basis. The potential impacts of various macroeconomic events, including but not limited to the war in Iran and related attacks on commercial vessels, the war in Ukraine, and other conflicts in the Middle East, among other potential macroeconomic events, are unpredictable, and the actual amount of our DVOE could be higher or lower than budgeted as a result.

CHARTER HIRE EXPENSES-

Charter hire expenses decreased by $1.6 million from $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in chartered-in days.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-

We incur general and administrative expenses that relate to our onshore non-vessel-related activities. Our general and administrative expenses include our payroll expenses, including those relating to our executive officers, operating lease expense, legal, auditing and other professional expenses.  General and administrative expenses include nonvested stock amortization expense which represent the amortization of stock-based compensation that has been issued to our directors and employees pursuant to the 2015 Plan. Refer to Note 13 — Stock-Based Compensation in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  General and administrative expenses also include legal and professional fees associated with our credit facilities, which are not capitalizable to deferred financing costs. We also incur general and administrative expenses for our overseas offices located in Singapore and Copenhagen.

General and administrative expenses increased from $7.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $7.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily due to higher nonvested stock amortization expense.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT EXPENSES-

Technical management expenses include the direct costs incurred by GSSM for the technical management of the vessels under its management. Technical management expenses were $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the variance due to timing of expenses during the year.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.3 million to $22.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $18.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in vessel depreciation expense for the Genco Courageous, which was delivered during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the Genco Stars and Stripes and the Genco Valkyrie, which were both delivered during the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, there was an increase in drydocking amortization expense for certain vessels that completed their respective drydockings during 2025.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS-

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of impairment of vessel assets related to the loss on disposal of replaced equipment on certain vessels. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

NET GAIN ON SALE OF VESSELS

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a net gain on sale of vessels of $1.9 million related to the sale of the Genco Predator on April 15, 2026. Refer to Note 5 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE-

Other operating expense of $13.1 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2026 consists of costs for non-routine aspects of our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and costs associated with proposals to purchase our common stock.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME -

INTEREST EXPENSE –

Interest expense increased by $3.2 million from $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $5.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted primarily of interest expense under our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs for those facilities. The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding debt during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower interest rates.

INTEREST INCOME –

Interest income increased by $0.4 million from $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST –

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.1 million and ($0.01) million, respectively, which is associated with the net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest of GSSM.

Six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, voyage revenues increased by $98.6 million, or 64.8%, to $250.8 million as compared to $152.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher rates earned by our major and minor bulk vessels, the operation of a larger fleet, as well as fewer drydocking days during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Refer to the discussion above included under the section “Three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 – Voyage Revenues” for further information.

The average TCE rate of our overall fleet increased by 71.3% to $21,836 a day during the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $12,750 a day during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The TCE for our major bulk vessels increased by 102.2% from $14,962 a day during the first half of 2025 to $30,255 a day during the first half of 2026. This increase was primarily a result of higher rates achieved by our Capesize vessels, and the purchase of two Newcastlemax vessels. The TCE for our minor bulk vessels increased by 38.3% from $11,446 a day during the first half of 2025 to $15,831 a day during the first half of 2026 primarily a result of higher rates achieved by our Ultramax and Supramax vessels.

Fleet utilization increased from 98.1% during the first half of 2025 to 98.9% during the first half of 2026.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

Voyage expenses increased from $59.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $80.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, higher bunker consumption, as well as higher overall port and agency fees.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $4.4 million from $48.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $53.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, as well as higher crew costs and insurance costs, as well as the timing of the purchase of stores.

Table of Contents

DVOE for our fleet increased to $6,781 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $6,401 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in daily vessel operating expense was primarily due to higher crew costs and insurance costs, as well as the timing of the purchase of stores. We believe that 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.

CHARTER HIRE EXPENSES-

Charter hire expenses increased by $2.2 million from $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase in hire rates, partially offset by a decrease in chartered-in days.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, general and administrative expenses were $16.0 and $14.9 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to higher nonvested stock amortization expense.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT EXPENSES-

Technical management expenses were $1.8 million and $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, with the variance due to timing of expenses during the year.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.6 million to $43.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $35.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in drydocking amortization expense for certain vessels that completed their respective drydockings during 2025. Additionally, there was an increase in vessel depreciation expense for the Genco Courageous, which was delivered during the fourth quarter of 2025, and the Genco Stars and Stripes and the Genco Valkyrie, which were both delivered during the first quarter of 2026.

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS-

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $1.7 million and $0.7 million of impairment of vessel assets, respectively, related to the loss on disposal of replaced equipment on certain vessels. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

NET GAIN ON SALE OF VESSELS

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a net gain on sale of vessels of $4.0 million related to the sales of the Genco Picardy and the Genco Predator on March 30, 2026 and April 15, 2026, respectively. Refer to Note 5 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE-

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME -

INTEREST EXPENSE –

Interest expense increased by $5.1 million from $5.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $10.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding debt during the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025, partially offset by lower interest rates.

INTEREST INCOME –

Interest income increased by $0.7 million from $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to higher interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST –

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.4 million and ($0.05) million, respectively, which is associated with the net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest of GSSM.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, cash on hand, equity offerings and credit facility borrowings. We currently use our funds primarily for the acquisition of vessels, fleet renewal, drydocking for our vessels, payment of dividends, debt repayments and satisfying working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business.  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, 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.  

We believe, given our current cash holdings and undrawn revolver availability, if drybulk shipping rates do not decline significantly from current levels, our capital resources, including cash anticipated to be generated within the year, are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Such resources include unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million as of June 30, 2026, in addition to the $350.0 million availability under the $680 Million Revolver as of June 30, 2026, which compares to a minimum liquidity requirement under our credit facility of approximately $21.5 million as of June 30, 2026. Given anticipated capital expenditures related to drydockings and fleet upgrade costs of $16.5 million and $25.9 million during the remainder of 2026 and 2027, respectively, the $58.5 million remaining payment for the purchase of the Genco Volunteer, as well as any quarterly dividend payments, we anticipate to continue to have significant cash expenditures. Refer to “Capital Expenditures” below for further details. However, if market conditions were to worsen significantly due to the U.S.-China trade dispute, the imposition of tariffs, the war in Iran and related attacks on commercial vessels, the war in Ukraine, other conflicts in the Middle East, or other causes, then our cash resources may decline to a level that may put at risk our ability to pay dividends per our capital allocation strategy or at all.

Going forward, given the nature of our revolving credit facility, we plan to actively manage our debt balance to reduce interest expense and may also opportunistically draw down debt to assist in funding accretive growth opportunities. As of June 30, 2026, there are no mandatory debt repayments due through 2028 until we must repay $3.1 million and $326.9 million during 2029 and 2030, respectively. Nonetheless, we intend to continue to pay down debt on a voluntary basis.

As of June 30, 2026, the $680 Million Revolver contained collateral maintenance covenants that require the aggregate appraised value of collateral vessels to be at least 135% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding under such facility. If the values of our vessels were to decline as a result of the various geopolitical factors previously mentioned or otherwise, we may not satisfy this collateral maintenance requirement. If we do not satisfy the collateral

43

Table of Contents

maintenance requirement, we will need to post additional collateral or prepay outstanding loans to bring us back into compliance, or we will need to seek waivers, which may not be available or may be subject to conditions.

In the future, we may require capital to fund acquisitions or to improve or support our ongoing operations and debt structure, particularly in light of economic conditions resulting from the U.S.-China trade dispute, the imposition of tariffs, the war in Iran and related attacks on commercial vessels, the war in Ukraine, other conflicts in the Middle East, and the trajectory of China’s economic recovery and stimulus measures. We may from time to time seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings, selling vessels or other assets, pursuing strategic opportunities, or otherwise. We may also from time to time seek to incur additional debt financing from private or public sector sources, refinance our indebtedness or obtain waivers or modifications to our credit agreements to obtain more favorable terms, enhance flexibility in conducting our business, or otherwise.  We may also seek to manage our interest rate exposure through hedging transactions. We may seek to accomplish any of these independently or in conjunction with one or more of these actions.  However, if market conditions are unfavorable, we may be unable to accomplish any of the foregoing on acceptable terms or at all.

On February 27, 2026, we entered into an amendment to upsize our existing $600 Million Revolver. Specifically, we utilized $80 million under the $300 million accordion feature to increase our borrowing capacity from $600 million to $680 million. The increased borrowing capacity was available upon delivery of the two Newcastlemax vessels, the Genco Stars and Stripes and the Genco Valkyrie, which were delivered on March 5, 2026 and March 24, 2026, respectively. Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the terms of the $680 Million Revolver, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the $680 Million Revolver.

Dividends

Under our quarterly dividend policy, the amount available for quarterly dividends is to be calculated based on the following formula:

Operating cash flow

Less: Voluntary quarterly reserve

Cash flow distributable as dividends

The amount of dividends payable under the foregoing formula for each quarter of the year will be determined on a quarterly basis.

For purposes of the foregoing calculation, operating cash flow is defined as voyage revenue less voyage expenses, charter hire expenses, realized gains or losses on fuel hedges, vessel operating expenses, general and administrative expenses other than non-cash restricted stock expenses, technical management fees, and interest expense other than non-cash deferred financing costs. Anticipated uses for the voluntary quarterly reserve include, but are not limited to, vessel acquisitions, debt prepayments and repayments, and general corporate purposes. In order to set aside funds for these purposes, the voluntary reserve will be set on a quarterly basis at the discretion of our Board and is anticipated to be based on future quarterly debt repayments and interest expense.

On August 5, 2026, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share. Our quarterly dividend policy and declaration and payment of dividends are subject to legally available funds, compliance with applicable law and contractual obligations (including our credit facilities) and our Board’s determination that each declaration and payment is at that time in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders after its review of our financial performance.

Since 2021, in connection with our comprehensive value strategy, we have paid down additional indebtedness under our credit facilities.

Table of Contents

The declaration and payment of any dividend or any stock repurchase is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and management continue to closely monitor market developments together with the evaluation of our quarterly dividend policy in the current market environment. The principal business factors that our Board of Directors expects to consider when determining the timing and amount of dividend payments or stock repurchases include our earnings, financial condition, and cash requirements at the time. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases other than from surplus. Marshall Islands law also prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends or stock repurchases while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend or such a stock repurchase. Heightened economic uncertainty and the potential for renewed drybulk market weakness as a result of the war in Iran and related attacks on commercial vessels, the war in Ukraine, other conflicts in the Middle East, and related economic conditions may result in our suspension, reduction, or termination of future quarterly dividends.

You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign law from the payment of dividends on our common stock.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $48.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher rates earned by our major and minor bulk vessels, as well as changes in working capital. Additionally, there was a decrease in drydocking costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $122.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively. This fluctuation was primarily a result of a $137.4 million increase in the purchase of vessel assets due to the purchase of the Genco Stars and Stripes and the Genco Valkyrie, which were delivered on March 5, 2026 and March 24, 2026, respectively, as well as the deposit made for the Genco Volunteer, which is expected to be delivered during August 2026. This increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $21.1 million net proceeds from the sale of the Genco Picardy and the Genco Predator on March 30, 2026 and April 15, 2026, respectively.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $91.3 million and ($9.9) million, respectively.  On February 27, 2026, the $600 Million Revolver was refinanced with the $680 Million Revolver. As part of the debt modification, $4.3 million was settled net among the lenders of the $600 Million Revolver and $680 Million Revolver. The fluctuation is primarily due to drawdowns totaling $130.0 million on the $600 Million Revolver and the $680 Million Revolver made by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to drawdowns of only $10.0 million on the $500 Million Revolver during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase in cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by a $18.0 million increase in the payment of dividends and a $0.8 million increase in the payment of deferred financing costs related to the $680 Million Revolver during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Interest Rate Swap and Cap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency 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 consider the creditworthiness of both the counterparty and ourselves, which has not changed significantly and has no effect on the valuation. 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 our exposure to the charter market risks relating to the deployment of our vessels.  Generally, these arrangements would bind us and each counterparty in the arrangement to buy or sell a specified

45

Table of Contents

tonnage freighting commitment “forward” at an agreed time and price and for a particular route.  Upon settlement, if the contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates (as reported by an identified index) for the specified route and period, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate multiplied by the number of days in the specific period.  Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the seller the settlement sum.  Although FFAs can be entered into for a variety of purposes, including for hedging, as an option, for trading, or for arbitrage, if we decided to enter into FFAs, our objective would be to hedge and manage market risks as part of our commercial management. It is not currently our intention to enter into FFAs to generate a stream of income independent of the revenues we derive from the operation of our fleet of vessels.  If we determine to enter into FFAs, we may reduce our exposure to any declines in our results from operations due to weak market conditions or downturns, but may also limit our ability to benefit economically during periods of strong demand in the market.  We have not entered into any FFAs as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. After the delivery of the Genco Volunteer, our fleet will consist of 44 drybulk vessels, including two Newcastlemax, 18 Capesize, 15 Ultramax and 9 Supramax vessels.

As previously announced, we have implemented a fuel efficiency upgrade program for certain of our vessels in an effort to generate fuel savings and increase the future earnings potential for these vessels. The upgrades have been successfully installed during previous drydockings.

The future estimated expenditures are included in the table 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, fleet upgrade costs consisting of ballast water treatment systems and fuel efficiency upgrades, and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet through 2027 to be:

(1)These amounts exclude a total of $7.3 million of estimated drydocking costs and fleet upgrade costs and 130 estimated offhire days for certain vessels that have drydocking class deadlines during the first quarter of 2028 and may, therefore, not be drydocked until 2028.

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 on hand. These costs do not include drydock expense items that are reflected in vessel operating expenses.

Actual length of drydocking will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors. Higher repairs and maintenance expense during drydocking for vessels which are over 15 years old typically result in a higher number of off-hire days depending on the condition of the vessel.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred a total of $13.5 million and $30.9 million of drydocking costs, respectively, excluding costs incurred during drydocking that were capitalized to vessel assets or vessel equipment.

46

Table of Contents

We completed the drydocking of seven of our vessels during the six months ended June 30, 2026. We estimate that an additional six of our vessels will be drydocked during the remainder of 2026 and 11 of our vessels will be drydocked during 2027.

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

Except as described below, there have been no changes or updates to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2025 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 $400/lightweight ton (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 2025 10-K.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded an impairment loss of $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the loss on disposal of replaced equipment on certain vessels. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an impairment loss of $0.7 million for the loss on disposal of replaced equipment on certain vessels.

Under our credit facility, we regularly submit to the lenders valuations of our vessels on an individual charter free basis in order to evidence our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our credit facility. Such a valuation is not necessarily the same as the amount any vessel may bring upon sale, which may be more or less, and should not be relied upon as such. We were in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant under our $680 Million Revolver as of June 30, 2026. We obtained valuations for all of the vessels in our fleet pursuant to the terms of the $680 Million Revolver.

We compare the carrying value of our vessels with the vessel valuations obtained for covenant compliance purposes to determine whether an indicator of impairment is present (excluding any vessels held for sale). As of June 30, 2026, none of our vessels had carrying values that exceeded their vessel valuations, therefore there were no

47

Table of Contents

indicators of impairment. As of December 31, 2025, two of our Capesize vessels had carrying values that exceeded their vessel valuations, which is an indicator of impairment. However, based on an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from each of these vessels as described in the 2025 10-K, there were no impairment losses recorded for these vessels incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, 2025 of two of our Capesize vessels exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $1.5 million to $2.0 million per vessel, and $3.5 million on an aggregate fleet basis for these two vessels. The average amount by which the carrying value of these vessels exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes was $1.8 million as of December 31, 2025. However, neither such valuation nor the carrying value in the table below reflects the value of long-term time charters, if any, related to some of our vessels.

In the chart below, we list each of our vessels, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Vessels have been grouped according to their collateralized status as of June 30, 2026 and does not include any vessels held for sale.

If we were to sell a vessel or hold a vessel for sale, and the carrying value of the vessel were to exceed its fair market value, net of costs to sell, we would record a loss in the amount of the difference. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the sale of vessel assets.

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.

Interest rate cap agreements cap the borrowing rate on our variable debt to provide a hedge against the risk of rising rates.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in SOFR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we were subject to the following interest rates on the outstanding debt under our credit facilities (Refer to Note 8 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the effective dates and termination dates for our credit facilities outlined below):

$500 Million Revolver

One-month SOFR plus 1.85% until August 1, 2024 when the applicable margin was increased from 1.85% to 1.90% pursuant to the sustainability link term of the facility providing a lower margin based on increased vessel efficiency. These rates were applicable until July 10, 2025 when we entered into the $600 Million Revolver.

$600 Million Revolver

One-month SOFR plus 1.75% from July 10, 2025 until July 31, 2025 when the applicable margin was increased from 1.75% to 1.80% pursuant to the sustainability link term of the facility. These rates were applicable until February 27, 2026 when we entered into the $680 Million Revolver.

$680 Million Revolver

One-month SOFR plus 1.80% pursuant to the sustainability link term of the facility beginning February 27, 2026.

A 1% increase in SOFR would have resulted in an increase of $1.4 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

From time to time, the Company may consider derivative financial instruments such as swaps and caps or other means to protect itself against interest rate fluctuations.

Derivative financial instruments

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into interest rate swaps or interest rate cap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.

50

Table of Contents

 

Our prior interest rate cap agreements were initially designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The premium paid was recognized in income on a rational basis, and all changes in the value of the caps were deferred in AOCI and were subsequently reclassified into Interest expense in the period when the hedged interest affected earnings.

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

We have entered into bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements with the objective of reducing the risk of the effect of changing fuel prices. Our bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, any unrealized or realized gains or losses are recognized as other income (expense). Refer to the “Bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information.

Currency and exchange rates risk

The majority of transactions in the international shipping industry are denominated in U.S. Dollars. 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.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

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 2025 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Below is an update to the risk factor entitled, “We are currently subject to a proxy contest seeking to replace all members of our Board of Directors, which could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.”

While the proxy contest initiated by a stockholder to replace members of our Board of Directors ended at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the same stockholder initiated a tender offer that has since expired and continues to pursue a non-binding indicative offer to acquire the Company. These circumstances have required, and are expected to continue to require, significant time and attention from our management and Board of Directors and have resulted in,
