Comprehensive Value Strategy
Genco’s comprehensive value strategy is centered on three pillars:
- Dividends: paying sizeable quarterly cash dividends to shareholders
- Deleveraging: through voluntary debt prepayments to maintain low financial leverage, and
- Growth: opportunistically growing the Company’s asset base
We believe this strategy is a key differentiator for Genco and will drive shareholder value over the long-term. We therefore believe Genco has created a compelling risk-reward balance positioning the Company to pay a sizeable quarterly dividend across diverse market environments. At the same time, we also maintain significant flexibility to grow the fleet through accretive vessel acquisitions. Key characteristics of our unique platform include:
- Industry low cash flow breakeven rate
- Net loan-to-value of
12% as of August 2, 2022 - Strong liquidity position of
$269.5 million consisting of cash and our undrawn revolver as of June 30, 2022 - High operating leverage with our scalable fleet across the major and minor bulk sectors
In 2022 to date, Genco has taken the following steps in line with our corporate strategy:
- Dividends: declared dividends totaling
$1.29 per share for 1H 2022, marking the first two full payouts under our value strategy utilizing our run rate voluntary quarterly debt repayment - Deleveraging: paid down
$57.5 million of debt during 1H 2022. Since the beginning of 2021, we have paid down$260.7 million or58% of our debt - Growth: completed the acquisition of two high quality, fuel efficient Ultramax vessels in January 2022
- Securing revenue: opportunistically fixed various period time charterers to secure cash flows and de-risk recent acquisitions as shown in the following table:
| Vessel | Type | DWT | Year Built | Rate | Duration | Min Expiration | |

Under the quarterly dividend policy adopted by our Board of Directors, the amount available for quarterly dividends is to be calculated based on the formula in the table below. The table includes the calculation of the actual Q2 2022 dividend and estimated amounts for the calculation of the dividend for Q3 2022:
| Dividend calculation | Q2 2022 actual | Q3 2022 estimates | |||
| Net revenue | $ | 100.93 | Fixtures + market | ||
| Operating expenses | (37.63 | ) | (28.58 | ) | |
| Operating cash flow | $ | 63.29 | |||
| Less: debt repayments | (8.75 | ) | (8.75 | ) | |
| Less: capex for dydocking/BWTS/ESDs | (22.56 | ) | (6.81 | ) | |
| Less: reserve | (10.75 | ) | (10.75 | ) | |
| Cash flow distributable as dividends | $ | 21.24 | Sum of the above | ||
| Number of shares to be paid dividends | 42.6 | 42.6 | |||
| Dividend per share | $ | 0.50 | |||
| Numbers in millions except per share amounts | |||||
For purposes of the foregoing calculation, operating cash flow is defined as net revenue (consisting of voyage revenue less voyage expenses, charter hire expenses, and realized gains or losses on fuel hedges), less operating expenses (consisting of 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).
Key Q2 2022 dividend items: during the second quarter of 2022, we paid down
Q3 2022 reserve: the quarterly reserve for the third quarter of 2022 is expected to be
Drydocking capex: during Q2 2022, we completed the majority of our drydocking related capex for the year. Looking ahead to Q3 2022, we expect drydocking capex to decrease to approximately
The Board expects to reassess the payment of dividends as appropriate from time to time. The quarterly dividend policy and declaration and payment of dividends are subject to legally available funds, compliance with law and contractual obligations and the Board of Directors’ determination that each declaration and payment is at the time in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. 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 the Board of Directors’ determination that each declaration and payment is at the time in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders after its review of our financial performance.
Genco’s active commercial operating platform and fleet deployment strategy
Overall, we utilize a portfolio approach towards revenue generation through a combination of short-term, spot market employment as well as opportunistically booking longer term coverage. Our fleet deployment strategy currently remains weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provide us with optionality on our sizeable fleet. Our barbell approach towards fleet composition enables Genco to gain exposure to both the major and minor bulk commodities with a fleet whose cargoes carried align with global commodity trade flows. This approach continues to serve us well given the upside potential in major bulk rates together with the relative stability of minor bulk rates.
Based on current fixtures to date, our estimated TCE to date for the third quarter of 2022 on a load-to-discharge basis is presented below. Our estimated Q3 TCE based on current fixture points to another strong quarter. Over the last year, we selectively booked period time charter coverage for up to two years on various Capesize and Ultramax vessels. We view these fixtures as part of our portfolio approach to fixture activity and prudent to take advantage of in the firm freight rate environment.
| Estimated net TCE - Q3 2022 to Date | ||||||||
| Vessel Type | Period | Spot | Fleet-wide | % Fixed | ||||
| Capesize | $ | 26,883 | $ | 21,497 | $ | 22,339 | 82 | % |
| Ultramax/Supramax | $ | 23,682 | $ | 28,030 | $ | 26,756 | 77 | % |
| Fleet-wide | $ | 24,482 | $ | 25,241 | $ | 25,059 | 79 | % |
Given several of our vessels are fixed on period time charters for up to two years, we have provided a TCE breakout of the period time charters as well as the spot trading fixtures in the third quarter to date. Actual rates for the third quarter will vary based upon future fixtures. We have approximately six Capesize vessels coming open in the coming weeks, a portion of which we plan to ballast to the Atlantic basin.

Capital Expenditures
As of August 2, 2022, Genco Shipping & Trading Limited’s fleet consists of 17 Capesize, 15 Ultramax and 12 Supramax vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 4,636,000 dwt and an average age of 10.4 years.
In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake, we will incur additional capital expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings. Furthermore, we plan to upgrade a portion of our fleet with energy saving devices and apply high performance paint systems to our vessels in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. We estimate our capital expenditures related to drydocking, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, ballast water treatment system costs, fuel efficiency upgrades and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet for 2022 to be:
| Q3 2022 | Q4 2022 | 2023 | |

| Estimated BWTS Costs (2) | - | ||
| Estimated Fuel Efficiency Upgrade Costs (3) | - | ||
| Total Estimated Costs | |||
| Estimated Offhire Days (4) | 159 | 133 | 70 |
(1) Estimates are based on our budgeted cost of 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.
(2) Estimated costs associated with the installation of ballast water treatment systems is expected to be funded with cash on hand.
(3) Estimated costs associated with the installation of fuel efficiency upgrades are expected to be funded with cash on hand.
(4) Actual length will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors. The estimated offhire days per sector scheduled for Q3 2022 consists of 127 days for five Capesizes and 32 days for two Ultramaxes.

1) EBITDA represents net income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited plus net interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in consolidating internal financial statements and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP (i.e. non-GAAP measure) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies.
2) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
3) 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.
4) We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in third-party vessels.
5) 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.
6) We define available days for the owned fleet as available days less chartered-in days.
7) We define operating days as the number of our total available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the 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.
8) 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.
9) We define TCE rates as our voyage revenues less voyage expenses, charter hire expenses, and realized gain or losses on fuel hedges, divided by the number of the available days of our owned fleet during the period. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. Our estimated TCE for the third quarter of 2022 is based on fixtures booked to date. Actual results may vary based on the actual duration of voyages and other factors. Accordingly, we are unable to provide, without unreasonable efforts, a reconciliation of estimated TCE for the third quarter to the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

10) 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.
