Genco Shipping reports Q3 adjusted EPS $1.00, consensus $1.07

Reports Q3 revenue $135.97M, consensus $111.31M. John Wobensmith, CEO, commented, "During the third quarter, we generated strong earnings driven by our sixth consecutive quarter of TCE exceeding $20,000 per day together with lower expense levels. Prudent cargo coverage taken during the second quarter resulted in significant benchmark freight outperformance during Q3 2022. Indicatively, our Ultramax and Supramax TCE during Q3 2022 was approximately $7,000 per day higher than the Baltic Supramax Index average for the quarter. The combination of these factors enabled us to increase our quarterly dividend by 56% on a sequential basis. Since implementing our value strategy, we have declared dividends of $2.74 per share over the last four quarters, delivering on our commitment to return substantial capital to shareholders. Based on our meaningful earnings power, combined with our proactive debt repayments and reduction of our cash breakeven levels, we remain well positioned to provide shareholders with sizeable dividends over the long-term through diverse rate environments."
