GENCO SHIPPING & TRADING LTD Earnings Per Share Disclosure
6 – NET (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The computation of basic net (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The computation of diluted net (loss) earnings per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards and the exercise of stock options (refer to Note 17 — 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 71,462 stock options, 319,502 performance-based restricted stock units and 634,884 restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the year ended December 31, 2025 because they were anti-dilutive (refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation).
There were 368,190 stock options, 79,838 performance-based restricted stock units and 563,705 restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the year ended December 31, 2023 because they were anti-dilutive (refer to Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation).
The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share are as follows:

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures
The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.
Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
