Kodak Reports First-Quarter 2020 Financial Results

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2020--Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today reported financial results for the first quarter 2020, including consolidated revenues of $267 million.

Highlights include:

• Consolidated revenues for Q1 2020 of $267 million.
• GAAP net loss of $111 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Current quarter net loss includes expense of $167 million related to the increase in deferred tax valuation allowances for locations outside the U.S. and income of $53 million related to the change in fair value of embedded derivatives in the Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes.
• Operational EBITDA for the quarter of negative $8 million.
• The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $209 million.

“Kodak started the quarter on a positive trajectory and the actions we took last year to strengthen our balance sheet are helping us manage through the slowdown,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman. “Kodak employees have risen to the challenge of the pandemic, continuing to serve our customers and redirecting resources to produce isopropyl alcohol for hand sanitizer and manufacture face masks using our ESTAR film base. Looking forward, we will continue with our plans to double down on digital print, launch exciting new products and realign our business to focus on customers.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, revenues decreased by approximately $24 million compared with the same period in 2019. Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $209 million, down from the December 31, 2019 cash balance of $233 million.

“For the quarter we used $24 million of cash, after giving effect to the release of $25 million of restricted cash,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “During the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 situation, we are managing our working capital tightly to ensure sustainability for our customers and employees. We continue to pursue cost-reduction efforts to preserve cash and position Kodak for a strong rebound when business conditions start to improve.”

APPENDICES

A. NON-GAAP MEASURES

In this first quarter 2020 financial results news release, reference is made to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• Operational EBITDA; and
• Revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis.

Kodak believes that these non-GAAP measures represent important internal measures of performance. Accordingly, where they are provided, it is to give investors the same financial data management uses with the belief that this information will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of Kodak, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). The change in revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis, as presented in this financial results news release, is calculated by using average foreign exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure of Net Loss to Operational EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

Footnote Explanations:

1. As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
2. Consulting and other costs are primarily professional services and internal costs associated with certain corporate strategic initiatives.
3. Consists of costs such as security, maintenance and utilities required to maintain land and buildings in certain locations not used in any Kodak operations and the costs, net of any rental income received, of underutilized portions of certain properties.
4. $2 million of income from the transition services agreement related to the sale of the Flexographic Packaging Business was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The income was reported in Other operating income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Other operating income, net is typically excluded from the segment measure. However, the income from the transition services agreement was included in the segment measure.
