Wobensmith, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Execution of our value strategy was once again strong. We enhanced our dividend policy to increase cash distributions to shareholders, resulting in an 18% increase in our third quarter dividend over the prior quarter. Returning significant capital to shareholders remains a top priority for management and we have now declared 21 consecutive dividends, representing $6.315 per share, or ~40% of our current share price. Advancing our growth strategy also remains an important focus for management and subsequent to quarter’s end, we took delivery of another high specification Capesize vessel. Including this acquisition, we have now invested ~$285 million in fleet expansion and modernization since the implementation of our value strategy. Consistent with our stated objective, we are pleased to have reinvested proceeds from the sales of older, less fuel-efficient vessels into this high-quality Capesize vessel to further increase our earnings power and modernize our fleet.”\nMr. Wobensmith continued, “Drawing on our leading commercial platform, we increased TCE 59% year-over-year. As we look to the end of the year, drybulk fundamentals remain positive, driven by ongoing capacity constraints, firm commodity demand and the beginning of fiscal and monetary easy cycles in key global economies. We are well positioned to continue to benefit from our significant operating leverage during a time when we continue to capitalize on our significant financial strength to take advantage of attractive growth opportunities, while delivering sizeable dividends to shareholders under our newly enhanced dividend policy.”\n1 Genco share price as of November 5, 2024.\n2 We believe the non-GAAP measure presented provides investors with a means of better evaluating and understanding the Company’s operating performance. Please see Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data below for further reconciliation. Regarding Q4 2024 TCE, actual results will vary from current estimates. Net revenue is defined as voyage revenues minus voyage expenses, charter hire expenses and realized gains or losses on fuel hedges.\nComprehensive Value Strategy\nGenco’s comprehensive value strategy is centered on three pillars:\n\nDividends: paying sizeable quarterly cash dividends to shareholders\nDeleveraging: through voluntary debt repayments to maintain low financial leverage, and\nGrowth: opportunistically growing and renewing the Company’s asset base\n\nThis strategy is a key differentiator for Genco, which we believe creates a compelling risk-reward balance to drive shareholder value over the long-term. The Company intends to pay a sizeable quarterly dividend across the cyclicality of the drybulk market while maintaining significant flexibility to grow the fleet through accretive vessel acquisitions.\nKey characteristics of our unique platform include:\n\nIndustry low cash flow breakeven rate\nNet loan-to-value of 5%3\nStrong liquidity position of $380.0 million at September 30, 2024, which consists of: \n  \n$47.0 million of cash on the balance sheet\n$333.0 million of revolver availability\n \nHigh operating leverage with our scalable fleet across the major and minor bulk sectors\n\n3 Represents the principal amount of our credit facility debt outstanding less our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 divided by estimates of the market value of our fleet as of November 5, 2024 from VesselsValue.com. These figures are pro forma for vessel transactions that were consummated in Q4 2024. The actual market value of our vessels may vary.\nFinancial Deleveraging\n82% debt reduction since 2021 \n\nDebt outstanding: $80.0 million as of September 30, 2024 \n  \nPaid down $25.0 million of debt in Q3 as we continue to actively manage our debt outstanding under our $500 million revolver to reduce interest expense and our cash flow breakeven rate\nIn Q4 2024, Genco drew down $20.0 million to partially fund the acquisition of the Genco Intrepid\n \nWe plan to continue to voluntarily pay down debt with a goal of zero net debt in order to enhance our ability to pay meaningful dividends and take advantage of strategic opportunities throughout drybulk market cycles\n\nFleet Renewal \nAcquired the Genco Intrepid, a 2016-built 180,000 dwt Capesize vessel, for $47.5 million constructed at Dalian Shipbuilding in China. We took delivery of the vessel on the October 23, 2024. This is the third high-specification Capesize vessel that we have acquired over the past 12 months.\nFurthermore, we sold the Genco Warrior, a 2005-built 55,000 dwt Supramax vessel, for $11.95 million and the Genco Hadrian, a 2008-built 169,000 dwt Capesize vessel, for $25.0 million. Both of these vessels were scheduled to drydock in 2025, saving Genco approximately $5.0 million in drydocking expenses next year. The Genco Warrior was delivered to its buyer on July 5, 2024, and the Genco Hadrian was delivered to its buyer on October 4, 2024.\nDividend Policy\nGenco declared a cash dividend of $0.40 per share for the third quarter of 2024. The Q3 2024 dividend is payable on or about November 25, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of November 18, 2024.\nQuarterly dividend policy: 100% of quarterly operating cash flow less a voluntary reserve. During the third quarter of 2024, Genco enhanced its dividend policy to exclude the drydocking capex line item from the dividend calculation.\nUnder the quarterly dividend policy adopted by our Board of Directors, the amount available for quarterly dividends is to be calculated based on the formula in the table below. The table includes the calculation of the actual Q3 2024 dividend and estimated amounts for the calculation of the dividend for Q4 2024:\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\nDividend calculation \nQ3 2024 actual\nQ4 2024 estimates\n\n\nNet revenue\n$\n69.82\n \nFixtures + market\n\n\nOperating expenses\n \n(32.89\n)\n(32.95\n)\n\n\nOperating cash flow\n$\n 36.93\n \nSum of the above\n\n\nLess: voluntary quarterly reserve\n \n(19.50\n)\n(19.50\n)\n\n\nCash flow distributable as dividends\n$\n 17.43\n \nSum of the above\n\n\nNumber of shares to be paid dividends\n \n43.5\n \n43.5\n \n\n\nDividend per share\n$\n 0.40\n \n \n\n\nNumbers in millions except per share amounts\n \n \n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nOperating 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 expenses, and interest expense other than non-cash deferred financing costs), for purposes of the foregoing calculation. Estimated expenses for Q4 2024 are estimates and subject to change.\nThe voluntary quarterly reserve for the fourth quarter of 2024 under the Company’s dividend formula is expected to be $19.50 million, which remains fully within our discretion. A key component of Genco’s value strategy is maintaining a voluntary quarterly reserve, as well as the optionality for the use of the reserve as Genco seeks to pay sizeable dividends across the cyclicality of the drybulk market. Subject to the development of freight rates for the remainder of the fourth quarter and our assessment of our liquidity and forward outlook, we maintain flexibility to reduce the quarterly reserve to pay dividends or increase the amount of dividends otherwise payable under our formula. The reserve is set by our Board of Directors at its discretion, and our Board has generally allotted an amount for anticipated debt prepayments plus an additional amount. We plan to set the voluntary reserve on a quarterly basis for the subsequent quarter.\nAnticipated uses for the voluntary reserve include, but are not limited to:\n\nVessel acquisitions\nDebt repayments, and\nGeneral corporate purposes\n\nThe Board expects to reassess the payment of dividends as appropriate from time to time. 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 facility) 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.\nPeter Allen, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “During the third quarter of 2024, Genco continued to generate strong earnings achieving adjusted EBITDA of $36.9 million during the period. This brought year-to-date adjusted EBITDA to $118.5 million, already greater than the full year of 2023. Furthermore, the Company’s decision to enhance the quarterly dividend calculation by removing the drydocking capex line item increased the amount of cash available for distribution augmenting our third quarter dividend. The ability to implement this adjustment was in large part due to Genco’s industry low net loan-to-value ratio as we have reduced our debt by a total of 82% since implementing our value strategy in 2021. With $333 million in undrawn revolver capacity, Genco has significant financial flexibility and remains in a strong position to take advantage of accretive growth opportunities.”\nGenco’s Active Commercial Operating Platform and Fleet Deployment Strategy\nWe utilize a portfolio approach towards revenue generation through a combination of:\n\nShort-term, spot market employment, and\nOpportunistically booking longer term coverage\n\nOur fleet deployment strategy currently remains weighted towards short-term fixtures, which provide us with optionality on our sizeable fleet.\nOur barbell approach towards fleet composition enables Genco to gain exposure to both the major and minor bulk commodities with a fleet whose cargoes carried align with global commodity trade flows. This approach continues to serve us well given the upside potential in major bulk rates together with the relative stability of minor bulk rates.\nBased on current fixtures to date, our estimated TCE to date for the fourth quarter of 2024 on a load-to-discharge basis is presented below. Actual rates for the fourth quarter will vary based upon future fixtures. These estimates are based on time charter contracts entered by the Company as well as current spot fixtures on the load-to-discharge method, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the voyage from the commencement of loading to the completion of discharge. The actual TCE rates to be earned will depend on the number of contracted days and the number of ballast days at the end of the period. According to the load-to-discharge accounting method, the Company does not recognize revenue for any ballast days or uncontracted days at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. At the same time, expenses for uncontracted days will be recognized.\n\n\n\nEstimated net TCE - Q4 2024 to Date\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\nVessel Type\nFleet-wide\n% Fixed\n\n\nCapesize\n$\n25,962\n59\n%\n\n\nUltra/Supra\n$\n14,851\n68\n%\n\n\nTotal\n$\n 18,786\n65\n%\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\nOur index-linked and period time charters are listed below:\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nVessel\nType\nDWT\nYear Built\nRate\nDuration\nMin Expiration\n\n\nGenco Reliance\nCapesize\n181,146\n2016\nBCI + 28% + scrubber\n 10-12 months \nJan-25\n\n\nGenco Ranger\nCapesize\n180,882\n2016\nBCI + 28% + scrubber\n 11-14 months \nFeb-25\n\n\nGenco Liberty\nCapesize\n180,032\n2016\n$\n35,000\n 11-14 months \nFeb-25\n\n\nGenco Resolute\nCapesize\n181,060\n2015\nBCI + 23% + scrubber\n 11-14 months \nApr-25\n\n\nGenco Defender\nCapesize\n180,021\n2016\nBCI + 23% + scrubber\n 11-14 months \nApr-25\n\n\nGenco Endeavour\nCapesize\n181,057\n2015\n$\n30,565\n 12-15 months \nOct-25\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nFinancial Review: 2024 Third Quarter\nThe Company recorded net income for the third quarter of 2024 of $21.5 million, or $0.50 and $0.49 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. Adjusted net income amounted to $18.1 million, or $0.42 and $0.41 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding a gain on sale of vessels of $4.5 million, non-cash vessel impairment charges of $1.0 million and unrealized fuel losses of $0.1 million. Comparatively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $32.0 million, or $0.75 basic and diluted loss per share. Adjusted net loss is $3.9 million or $0.09 basic and diluted loss per share excluding a non-cash vessel impairment charge of $28.1 million. \nRevenue / TCE\nThe Company’s revenues increased to $99.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $83.4 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher rates earned by our major and minor bulk vessels. The average daily time charter equivalent, or TCE, rates obtained by the Company’s fleet was $19,260 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $12,082 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2023.\nVoyage expensesVoyage expenses decreased to $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $34.3 million during the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower voyage expenses for our major bulk vessels, including lower bunker consumption.\nVessel operating expensesVessel operating expenses increased to $24.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Daily vessel operating expenses, or DVOE, amounted to $6,423 per vessel per day for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $6,113 per vessel per day for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the timing of the purchase of stores and higher repair and maintenance costs.\nWe 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. Based on current estimates, our DVOE budget for Q4 2024 is $6,200 per vessel per day on a fleet-wide basis.\nGeneral and administrative expensesGeneral and administrative expenses increased to $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 due to higher nonvested stock amortization expense.\nDepreciation and amortization expensesDepreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $17.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.\nFinancial Review: Nine Months 2024\nThe Company recorded net income of $63.7 million or $1.48 and $1.46 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted net income amounted to $59.4 million, or $1.38 and $1.36 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding a gain on sale of vessels of $16.7 million, non-cash vessel impairment charges of $6.6 million, other operating expense of $5.7 million and unrealized fuel losses of $0.1 million. This compares to net loss of $17.8 million or $0.42 basic and diluted loss per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted net income is $10.3 million or $0.24 basic and diluted earnings per share excluding a non-cash vessel impairment charge of $28.1 million. \nRevenue / TCE\nThe Company’s revenues increased to $323.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $268.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher rates earned by our major bulk vessels and our Ultrabulk vessels that are in our minor bulk fleet. TCE rates obtained by the Company increased to $19,458 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $13,855 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.\nVoyage expensesVoyage expenses decreased to $95.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $100.5 million for the same period in 2023.\nVessel operating expensesVessel operating expenses increased to $77.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $71.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. DVOE was $6,514 for the first nine months of 2024 versus $5,971 in the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the timing of the purchase of stores and spares, higher repair and maintenance costs, and higher crew costs.\nGeneral and administrative expensesGeneral and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to $20.8 million as compared to $21.3 million in the same period of 2023 primarily due to lower legal and professional fees.\nEBITDAEBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $122.8 million compared to $36.2 million during the prior year period. During the nine months of 2024 and 2023, EBITDA included non-cash impairment charges, other operating expenses, gains on sale of vessels as well as gains and losses on fuel hedges. Excluding these items, our adjusted EBITDA would have amounted to $118.5 million and $64.4 million, for the respective periods.\nLiquidity and Capital Resources\nCash Flow\nNet cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $96.9 million and $52.2 million, respectively. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher freight rates earned by our major bulk vessels and our Ultramax vessels, as well as changes in working capital.  This increase was partially offset by an increase in drydocking costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.\nNet cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $73.7 million and ($3.3) million, respectively. This fluctuation was primarily a result of $79.1 million of proceeds from the sale of the Genco Commodus, the Genco Claudius, the Genco Maximus and the Genco Warrior during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.\nNet cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $170.4 million and $60.8 million, respectively.  The increase is primarily due to a $93.8 million increase in debt repayments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.  There was also a $15.9 million increase in the payment of dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.\nCapital Expenditures \nGenco’s fleet consists of 42 vessels with an average age of 11.9 years and an aggregate capacity of approximately 4,446,000 dwt as follows:\n\n16 Capesizes\n15 Ultramaxes\n11 Supramaxes\n\nIn addition to acquisitions that we may undertake, we will incur additional capital expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings. Furthermore, we plan to upgrade a portion of our fleet with energy saving devices and apply high performance paint systems to our vessels in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.\nWe estimate our capital expenditures related to drydocking, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, ballast water treatment system costs, fuel efficiency upgrades and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet for the balance of 2024 and 2025 to be:\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nEstimated costs ($ in millions)\nQ4 2024\nQ1 2025\nQ2 2025\nQ3 2025\nQ4 2025\n\n\nDrydock Costs(1)\n$\n6.99\n$\n19.50\n$\n11.55\n$\n6.65\n$\n3.10\n\n\nEstimated BWTS Costs(2)\n$\n-\n$\n0.53\n$\n0.53\n$\n-\n$\n-\n\n\nFuel Efficiency Upgrade Costs(3)\n$\n1.77\n$\n2.57\n$\n0.68\n$\n2.41\n$\n0.14\n\n\nTotal Costs\n$\n8.76\n$\n22.59\n$\n12.76\n$\n9.06\n$\n3.24\n\n\nEstimated Offhire Days(4)\n \n111\n \n265\n \n165\n \n95\n \n55\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n(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.\n(2) Estimated costs associated with the installation of ballast water treatment systems are expected to be funded with cash on hand.\n(3) Estimated costs associated with the installation of fuel efficiency upgrades are expected to be funded with cash on hand.\n(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 Q4 2024 consists of 111 days for one Ultramax and three Supramaxes.\nSummary Consolidated Financial and Other Data\nThe following table summarizes

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.\n2) 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.\n3) 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.\n4) We define chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in third-party vessels.\n5) 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.\n6) We define available days for the owned fleet as available days less chartered-in days.\n7) 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.\n8) 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.\n9) 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 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. Our estimated TCE for the fourth quarter of 2024 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 fourth quarter to the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

(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) acts of war, terrorism, or piracy, including without limitation the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, and attacks on vessels in the Red Sea; (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, 2024 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 new 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; and (xxiii) 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, 2023 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.\nCONTACT:Peter AllenChief Financial OfficerGenco Shipping & Trading Limited(646) 443-8550","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2481572479"}
