Press Release Details

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2022-- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2022, including consolidated revenues of $289 million.

Third-quarter 2022 highlights include:

• Consolidated revenues of $289 million, compared with $287 million for Q3 2021 (increased $24 million on a constant currency basis)
• GAAP net income of $2 million, compared with $8 million for Q3 2021
• Operational EBITDA of $7 million, compared with $6 million for Q3 2021
• A quarter-end cash balance of $216 million, compared with $362 million at the end of 2021
• Q3 performance of key products compared with Q3 2021: SONORA Process Free Plates volume declined 10%, PROSPER inkjet annuities revenue declined 11% (increased 1% on a constant currency basis)

“For the third quarter of 2022, Kodak delivered year-over-year revenue growth for the sixth consecutive quarter. I’d like to thank our loyal customers and our employees for helping us deliver these results,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “This continuing growth reflects our management team’s experience with difficult business environments and our commitment to finding ways of putting our customers first despite ongoing inflationary and supply chain challenges. We continue to invest in digital print technologies such as the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Press, which offers offset print quality and can help printers mitigate the supply and cost risks of traditional printing plates and eliminate the significant carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and distributing them. In addition, we continue to make significant investments in our Advanced Materials & Chemicals business, such as our minority stake in Wildcat Discovery Technologies, Inc., a private technology company that is developing a breakthrough EV and energy storage ‘super cell’ battery technology. Looking forward, we’ll continue to make strategic decisions focused on driving smart revenue for Kodak.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, revenues were $289 million, an improvement of $2 million compared to the same period in 2021. Adjusting for the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $22 million in the current-year quarter, revenue increased by $24 million compared to the prior-year quarter.

The Company had GAAP net income of $2 million for the quarter, compared to $8 million in the prior-year quarter. Operational EBITDA for the third quarter was $7 million, compared to $6 million in Q3 2021. Operational EBITDA was favorably impacted by the growth in revenue due to improved pricing, partially offset by higher continued ongoing global cost increases and unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.

On June 15, 2022, Kodak exercised its right to draw an additional $50 million of aggregate principal in the form of delayed draw term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. On July 13, 2022, Kodak invested $25 million received from the loans to acquire a minority stake in Wildcat Discovery Technologies.

Kodak ended the third quarter with a cash balance of $216 million, a net decrease of $146 million from December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to increases in working capital, the impact of higher costs, increased capital investment and the investment in Wildcat Discovery Technologies, partially offset by proceeds received under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

“In the third quarter, the Company’s primary uses of cash were investments in our previously-announced growth initiatives and increasing working capital to support our existing operations,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “Our profitability during the quarter was negatively impacted by the challenging business environment, including factors such as increasing labor and materials costs and the impact of foreign exchange.”

APPENDICES

A. NON-GAAP MEASURES

In this third quarter 2022 financial results news release, reference is made to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• Operational EBITDA;
• Revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis; and
• PROSPER inkjet annuities revenue 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 income from continuing operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and OPEB income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating expense, net; interest expense; and other income, 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, 2021, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure of Net Income to Operational EBITDA and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:
