1996 Sales were $4,149 million for the 1996 third quarter and $11,654 million for the first three quarters. Net earnings were $410 million for the 1996 third quarter ($1.22 per share) and $1,124 million for the first three quarters ($3.32 per share). During the 1996 second quarter, Kodak concluded a $1 billion share repurchase program and initiated an additional $2 billion repurchase program which is expected to extend over the next two to three years. On September 9, 1996, Danka Business Systems PLC and Kodak announced that they have signed an agreement for Danka to acquire the sales, marketing, and equipment service operations of Kodak's Office Imaging business, as well as Kodak's facilities management business known as Kodak Imaging Services. In connection with this agreement, Kodak will supply high-volume copiers and printers to Danka. Danka will pay Kodak $684 million in cash and assume certain assets and operating liabilities. Completion of the agreement is subject to approval by Danka shareholders as well as regulatory consents. The parties plan to close the transaction by December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1995, the unaudited book value of the net assets to be acquired was approximately $800 million. The transaction will result in an estimated book loss of approximately $250 million after tax, which will be recorded at the time of closing, assuming receipt of shareholder approval and regulatory consents. 1995 Sales were $3,813 million for the 1995 third quarter and $10,888 million for the first three quarters. Net earnings were $338 million for the 1995 third quarter ($.99 per share) and $977 million for the first three quarters ($2.86 per share). - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sales by Industry Segment

1996 COMPARED WITH 1995 Third quarter For the third quarter of 1996, sales increased 9% compared with the third quarter of 1995, primarily due to higher unit volumes, partially offset by lower effective selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. Sales in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 13%, due to higher unit volumes partially offset by lower effective selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. Sales inside the U.S. increased 18%, primarily due to higher unit volumes partially offset by lower effective selling prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 10%, due to higher unit volumes partially offset by lower effective selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. All major product lines achieved solid sales growth, led by the Company's Qualex photofinishing subsidiary, Advantix products, color photographic papers and Kodacolor 35mm films. Sales in the Commercial Imaging segment increased 5%, due to higher unit volumes partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower effective selling prices. Sales inside the U.S. increased 4%, due to higher unit volumes slightly offset by lower effective selling prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 5%, with higher unit volumes partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower effective selling prices. Worldwide increases were led by digital and professional motion imaging products. Earnings from operations increased 14%, as the benefits of higher unit volumes were partially offset by lower effective selling prices and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Earnings from operations in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 3%, well below the 13% rate of sales growth. The benefits of higher unit volumes were partially offset by lower effective selling prices and increased selling, general and administrative expenses. The higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily attributable to increased advertising and promotional expenditures associated with the summer Olympics. Lower earnings in photofinishing operations outside the U.S. also contributed to the lower rate of earnings growth. Earnings from operations in the Commercial Imaging segment increased 42% compared with the 5% rate of sales growth. The benefits of higher unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were slightly offset by lower effective selling prices and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Earnings increases were led by motion picture films, copiers and health imaging products. For the third quarter of 1996, earnings from equity interests and other revenues decreased due to lower earnings from equity interests and lower gains on sales of capital assets. Other costs decreased due to lower net losses from foreign exchange transactions and the translation of net monetary items in highly inflationary economies. There was no change in the effective tax rate compared with the third quarter of 1995. Year to date For the first three quarters of 1996, sales increased 7% compared with the first three quarters of 1995, primarily due to higher unit volumes, partially offset by lower effective selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. Sales in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 12%, as higher unit volumes were slightly offset by lower effective selling prices and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. Sales inside the U.S. increased 14%, due to higher unit volumes slightly offset by lower effective selling prices. Sales outside the U.S. increased 10%, due to higher unit volumes partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower effective selling prices. Worldwide growth was led by sales gains of the Company's Qualex photofinishing subsidiary along with increased sales of color photographic papers, Advantix products, Kodacolor 35mm films and one-time-use cameras. 8 Sales in the Commercial Imaging segment increased 3%, due to higher unit volumes somewhat offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower effective selling prices. Sales inside the U.S. increased 3% due to higher unit volumes. Sales outside the U.S. increased 4%, due to higher unit volumes somewhat offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower effective selling prices. Worldwide growth was led by digital and professional motion imaging products. Earnings from operations increased 7%, as the benefits of higher unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were partially offset by higher advertising and other expenses associated with the introduction of Advantix products and the summer Olympics, lower effective selling prices, unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and increased research and development expenditures. Earnings from operations in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 5%, as the benefits of higher unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were somewhat offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower effective selling prices. Approximately sixty percent of the increased selling, general and administrative expenses were due to higher advertising expenditures primarily related to the introduction of Advantix products and the summer Olympics. Earnings from operations in the Commercial Imaging segment increased 10%, as the benefits of higher unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were partially offset by lower effective selling prices, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, increased research and development expenditures and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes. Other costs decreased due to lower net losses from foreign exchange transactions and the translation of net monetary items in highly inflationary economies. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 36% during the first three quarters of 1995 to 34% during the first three quarters of 1996 principally results from the utilization of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Available cash reserves and cash from operations have been and will be used to complete the $2 billion stock repurchase program. Cash flow from operations for the first three quarters of 1996 was $1,449 million, primarily due to $1,124 million of net earnings, which included $661 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, a $307 million increase in inventories and a $61 million increase in receivables. Net cash outflow from investing activities was $753 million for the first three quarters of 1996, due primarily to capital expenditures of $831 million. Net cash outflow from financing activities of $1,542 million for the first three quarters of 1996 was primarily due to $1,131 million of stock repurchases and $409 million of dividend payments. During the third quarter of 1996, a cash dividend of $134 million (40 cents per share) was declared on the Company's common stock, versus $136 million (40 cents per share) a year ago. Total cash dividends declared for the year-to-date periods of 1996 and 1995 amounted to $406 million ($1.20 per share) and $409 million ($1.20 per share), respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $943 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with $1,811 million at year-end 1995. Net working capital at the end of the quarter was $2,092 million, compared with $2,666 million at year-end 1995. Both decreases are primarily attributable to the stock repurchase program. Projected operating cash flows are expected to be adequate to support normal business operations, planned capital expenditures, the stock repurchase program, and dividend payments in 1996. Capital additions for the third quarter of 1996 were $299 million compared with $236 million for the third quarter of 1995. For the first three quarters of 1996, capital additions were $831 million versus $695 million a year ago. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In April 1987, the Company was sued in federal district court in San Francisco by a number of independent service organizations who alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and of various state statutes in the sale by the Company of repair parts for its copier and micrographics equipment (Image Technical Service, Inc. (ITS), et al v. Eastman Kodak Company). The complaint sought unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Trial began on June 19, 1995 and concluded on September 18, 1995 with a jury verdict for plaintiffs of $23,948,300, before trebling. The Company has appealed the jury's verdict (the appeal was argued in the 9th Circuit on September 19, 1996) and intends to continue to defend this action vigorously. Three cases that raise essentially the same antitrust issues as ITS are pending (Nationwide, et al v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed March 10, 1995, A-1 Copy Center, et al v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed December 13, 1993, and Broward Microfilm, Inc. v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed February 27, 1996). The Nationwide and A-1 cases are pending in federal district court in San Francisco, while Broward Microfilm is pending in federal district court in Miami. A-1 is a consolidated class action, while Broward Microfilm purports to be a national class action. The complaints in all three cases seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. As is the case in ITS, the Company is defending these matters vigorously. As a participant in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8 (e) Compliance Audit Program, the Company agreed to audit its files for materials which under current EPA guidelines would be subject to notification under Section 8 (e) of TSCA and to pay stipulated penalties for each report submitted under this program. The Company's participation in the Program will conclude in the fourth quarter, with a payment by the Company of a civil penalty of $750,000. In addition to the foregoing environmental action, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company's alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at approximately twenty-five Superfund sites. With respect to each of these sites, the Company's actual or potential allocated share of responsibility is small. Furthermore, numerous other PRPs have similarly been designated at these sites and, although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, as a practical matter, costs are shared with other PRPs. Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material. Future costs are not expected to be material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Item 6.
