Press Release Details

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2020, including consolidated revenues of $252 million and a $13 million increase in cash.

Third-quarter highlights include:

• Consolidated revenues of $252 million
• A cash balance of $193 million at quarter-end
• Full conversion of the $100 million secured convertible notes into common stock

“As the pandemic continued during the third quarter, Kodak stayed focused on keeping our employees safe and serving customers while carefully managing our costs and cash,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “We continue to invest in leading-edge digital print technology and winning eight awards recently in three prestigious print industry competitions provides external validation of that commitment. Looking forward, we’ll continue to build on our strengths in print and advanced materials & chemicals, including our existing business in manufacturing pharmaceutical ingredients.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, revenues declined by approximately $63 million compared with the same period in 2019. Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $193 million, up from the June 30, 2020 cash balance of $180 million. GAAP net loss was $445 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which included a charge of $416 million to reflect the increased value of the derivative liability embedded in the convertible notes immediately prior to conversion. Operational EBITDA was negative $1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

During the quarter, $100 million of the Company’s 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s delivery of the conversion shares and its payment of the accrued interest satisfies the Company’s obligations under the Notes. As a result of the conversion of all of the Notes, the lien granted by the Company on certain of its assets to secure the Notes was released.

“Kodak delivered improved revenue compared with the second quarter of the year while improving its financial position,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “During the third quarter, the Company reduced its debt by $100 million due to the conversion of the convertible notes and its cash balance increased by $13 million.”

APPENDICES

A. NON-GAAP MEASURES

In this third 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”). Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) from continuing operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and OPEB income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating (expense) income, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; loss on early extinguishment of debt and other charges, net.

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 September 30, 2019, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure of Net Loss to Operational EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 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 and investigations.
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. $1 million and $2 million of income from the transition services agreement related to the sale of the Flexographic Packaging Business was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income was reported in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Other operating (income) expense, net is typically excluded from the segment measure. However, the income from the transition services agreement was included in the segment measure.
