Eastman Kodak Company
(Debtor-in-Possession)
Form 10-K
December 31, 2012
3
When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, we, our, us, and Kodak refer to the consolidated company on the basis of consolidation described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K Report. Also, unless otherwise indicated by the context, EKC means the parent company, Eastman Kodak Company (the Company).
Kodak is transforming into a B2B company focused on its commercial imaging business. Kodak will be centered on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions, and enterprise services markets in which Kodak offers customers advanced technologies that give them a competitive edge. Kodak also offers leading products and services in entertainment imaging and commercial films.
The Company was founded by George Eastman in 1880 and incorporated in 1901 in the State of New Jersey. Kodak is headquartered in Rochester, New York.
BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
On January 19, 2012 (the Petition Date), Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (together with the Company, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the Bankruptcy Filing) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court) case number 12-10202. The Companys foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the Non-Filing Entities) were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Filing Entities continue to operate in the ordinary course of business.
The Bankruptcy Filing is intended to permit Kodak to reorganize and increase liquidity in the U.S. and abroad, monetize non-strategic intellectual property and businesses, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and focus on the most valuable business lines to enable sustainable profitability. The Debtors goal is to develop and implement a reorganization plan that meets the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. Confirmation of a reorganization plan could materially alter the classifications and amounts reported in Kodaks consolidated financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying values of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a reorganization plan or other arrangement or the effect of any operational changes that may be implemented.
Operation and Implication of the Bankruptcy Filing
Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of voluntary bankruptcy petitions by the Debtors automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including most actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over Kodaks property. Accordingly, although the Bankruptcy Filing triggered defaults for certain of the Debtors debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions as a result of such defaults. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors pre-petition liabilities are subject to compromise under a reorganization plan. As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. The Debtors, operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, may, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or compromise liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Further, a confirmed reorganization plan or other arrangement may materially change the amounts and classifications in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. In general, rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease in question and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counter-party or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure any existing defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease.
Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtors received approval, but not direction, from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to stabilize Kodaks operations. These obligations related to certain employee wages, salaries and benefits, certain customer program obligations, and the payment of vendors and other providers in the ordinary course for goods and services received after the Petition Date. The Debtors have retained, pursuant to Bankruptcy Court approval, legal and financial professionals to advise the Debtors in connection with the Bankruptcy Filing and
4
certain other professionals to provide services and advice in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the Debtors may seek Bankruptcy Court approval to retain additional professionals.
The U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the U.S. Trustee) has appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the UCC) as well as an official committee of retired employees (Retiree Committee). The UCC, the Retiree Committee and their legal representatives have a right to be heard on all matters affecting the Debtors that come before the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the UCC will support the Debtors positions on matters to be presented to the Bankruptcy Court in the future or on any reorganization plan, once proposed.
Reorganization Plan
In order for the Debtors to emerge successfully from chapter 11, the Debtors must obtain the Bankruptcy Courts approval of a reorganization plan, which will enable the Debtors to emerge from chapter 11 as a reorganized entity operating in the ordinary course of business outside of bankruptcy. In connection with a reorganization plan, the Company also may require new credit facilities, or exit financing. The Companys ability to obtain such approval and exit financing will depend on, among other things, the timing and outcome of various ongoing matters related to the Bankruptcy Filing. A reorganization plan determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations, events and Bankruptcy Court decisions ongoing through the date on which the reorganization plan is confirmed.
On February 22, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the period of time that the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court through and including April 18, 2013. The extension concerns only the length of time in which the Debtors have the sole right to file a plan of reorganization, not the duration of the case. The Debtors expect to emerge from bankruptcy in mid-2013.
The Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (DIP Credit Agreement or DIP) stipulates that a draft of an acceptable reorganization plan and disclosure statement is to be provided to the DIP agent on or prior to January 15, 2013 and filed with the court on or prior to February 15, 2013. On January 15, 2013, the Company provided to the DIP agent a draft reorganization plan and disclosure statement. On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of the DIP Credit Agreement to extend the requirement to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court to April 30, 2013.
Under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, the disclosure statement must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court before the Debtors may solicit acceptance of the proposed reorganization plan. To be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the disclosure statement must contain adequate information that would enable a hypothetical holder to make an informed judgment about the plan. Once the disclosure statement is approved, the Debtors may send the proposed reorganization plan, the disclosure statement and ballots to all creditors entitled to vote. There can be no assurance that the Debtors will be able to secure approval for the Debtors proposed reorganization plan from creditors or confirmation from the Bankruptcy Court. In the event the Debtors do not secure approval or confirmation of the reorganization plan, any outstanding DIP Credit Agreement principal and interest could become immediately due and payable.
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Effective September 30, 2012, Kodak changed its segment reporting structure to three reportable segments: the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, and the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment. Prior period segment results have been revised to conform to the current period segment reporting structure. All the information provided herein reflects this change.
Kodaks sales, earnings and assets by reportable segment for each of the past three years are shown in Note 26, Segment Information, in the Notes to Financial Statements.
GRAPHICS, ENTERTAINMENT AND COMMERCIAL FILMS (GECF) SEGMENT
Around the world, GECF provides digital and traditional product and service offerings to a variety of commercial industries, including; commercial print, direct mail, book publishing, newspapers and magazines, packaging, motion picture entertainment, printed electronics, and the aerial and industrial markets.

Kodak is the only supplier in the industry that develops and manufactures a fully-optimized portfolio for the global print market.
Net sales for Graphics accounted for 33%, 31%, and 27% of total consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
5
Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films: Kodaks motion picture film business is the world-class leader in providing motion imaging products, services, and technology for the professional motion picture and exhibition industries. Products are sold directly to studios, laboratories, independent filmmakers and production companies. Quality and availability are important factors for these products, which are sold in a price-competitive environment. The distribution of motion pictures to theaters is another important element of this business, one in which Kodak continues to be widely recognized as a market leader.
The companys commercial films business encompasses Aerial and Industrial Films including Kodak Printed Circuit Board film. It also includes external sales for the components businesses: Polyester Film; Specialty Chemicals; Inks & Dispersions; and Solvent Recovery.
Net sales of Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films accounted for 10%, 13%, and 14% of total consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
Marketing and Competition: The key imperatives and marketing focus for the Graphics business are; investing in process-free technology, driving a total, optimized prepress solution, delivering the next-generation print software portfolio, expanding in emerging markets, and driving operational excellence and profitability. Kodak faces competition from other companies who offer a range of commercial offset and digital printing equipment, production software, consumables and service. The company also faces competition from electronic substitution and other service providers. Competitiveness is generally focused on a broad range of technology, solutions and price.
Key imperatives and marketing focus for the Entertainment Imaging business in 2013 are as follows; driving price across the portfolio, balancing manufacturing volumes with expected demand, working to make fixed costs variable at primary operating sites, and growing the external customer-base for the components business with a focus on the ink market. As the Entertainment Imaging industry continues to move to digital capture and digital cinema formats, Kodak anticipates that it will face new competitors, including some of its current customers and other electronics manufacturers. Kodak recently signed four new contracts with major Hollywood studios that are committed to buying the companys motion picture film products through the end of 2014 or 2015.
DIGITAL PRINTING AND ENTERPRISE (DP&E) SEGMENT

P&DI provides consumer digital and traditional imaging products and service offerings, document scanning products and services, and licensing activities related to Kodaks intellectual property.
Intellectual Property: Intellectual Property includes licensing activities related to digital imaging products and certain branded licensed products.
6
Net revenues for Intellectual Property accounted for (1)%, 2%, and 15% of total consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. On February 1, 2013, Kodak sold its digital imaging patents.
Personalized Imaging: Personalized Imaging includes retail systems solutions, paper and output systems, event imaging solutions and consumer film.

Competition is based on technology, product features, technical support, service offerings and pricing.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations of Kodak include the digital capture and devices business, Kodak Gallery, and other miscellaneous businesses.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Financial information by geographic area for the past three years is shown in Note 26, Segment Information, in the Notes to Financial Statements.
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used by Kodak are many and varied, and are generally readily available. Lithographic aluminum is the primary material used in the manufacture of offset printing plates. Kodak procures lithographic aluminum coils from several suppliers on a spot basis or under contracts generally in place over the next one to two years. Silver is one of the essential materials used in the manufacture of films and photographic papers. Kodak purchases silver from numerous suppliers under annual agreements or on a spot basis. Paper base is an essential material in the manufacture of photographic papers. Kodak has a contract to acquire paper base from a certified photographic paper supplier through the end of 2013. Electronic components are used in the manufacturing of commercial printers and other electronic devices. Although most electronic components are generally available from multiple sources, certain key electronic components included in the finished goods manufactured by and purchased from Kodaks third party suppliers are obtained from single or limited sources, which may subject Kodak to supply risks.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Sales and earnings of Personalized Imaging within the P&DI segment are linked to the timing of holidays, vacations and other leisure or gifting seasons. Sales are normally lowest in the first quarter due to fewer holidays and less picture-taking and gift-giving opportunities during that time.
Sales and earnings of Document Imaging within the P&DI segment generally exhibit higher levels in the fourth quarter due to seasonal demand of government agencies and other customers operating under calendar year budget deadlines.
Sales of the DP&E segment generally exhibit modestly higher levels in the fourth quarter due to the seasonal nature of equipment placements.
Sales of entertainment imaging film within the GECF segment are typically strongest in the second quarter reflecting increased demand due to the summer motion picture season.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Through the years, Kodak has engaged in extensive and productive efforts in research and development.
Research and development expenditures for Kodaks three reportable segments were as follows:

Research and development is headquartered in Rochester, New York. Other U.S. groups are located in Stamford, Connecticut; Dayton, Ohio; Oakdale, Minnesota; and Columbus, Georgia. Outside the U.S., groups are located in Canada, England, Israel, Germany, Japan, and China. These groups work in close cooperation with manufacturing units and marketing organizations to develop new products and applications to serve both existing and new markets.
It has been Kodaks general practice to protect its investment in research and development and its freedom to use its inventions by obtaining patents. The ownership of these patents contributes to Kodaks ability to provide leadership products. Kodak holds portfolios of patents in several areas important to its business, including flexographic and lithographic printing plates and systems; digital printing workflow and color management proofing systems; color and black-and-white electrophotographic printing systems; commercial and consumer inkjet writing systems, printers, and presses; inkjet inks and media; functional printing materials, formulations, and deposition modalities; dye sublimation (thermal transfer) printing systems; and color negative films, processing and papers. Each of these areas is important to existing and emerging business opportunities that bear directly on Kodaks overall business performance.
Kodaks major products are not dependent upon one single, material patent. Rather, the technologies that underlie Kodaks products are supported by an aggregation of patents having various remaining lives and expiration dates. There is no individual patent, or group of patents, whose expiration are expected to have a material impact on Kodaks results of operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Kodak is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters. The U.S. federal environmental legislation and state regulatory programs having an impact on Kodak include the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the NY State Chemical Bulk Storage Regulations and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law).
It is Kodaks policy to carry out its business activities in a manner consistent with sound health, safety and environmental management practices, and to comply with applicable health, safety and environmental laws and regulations. Kodak continues to engage in programs for environmental, health and safety protection and control.
Based upon information presently available, future costs associated with environmental compliance are not expected to have a material effect on Kodaks capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position, although costs could be material to a particular quarter or year.
8
EMPLOYMENT
At the end of 2012, Kodak employed the full time equivalent of approximately 13,000 people, of whom approximately 6,000 were employed in the U.S. The actual number of employees may be greater because some individuals work part time.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Kodak files many reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (www.sec.gov), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. These reports, and amendments to these reports, are made available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after being electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. They are available through Kodaks website at www.Kodak.com. To reach the SEC filings, follow the links to Investor Center, and then SEC Filings. Additionally, Kodak provides information related to the chapter 11 filing and reorganization plan through Kodaks www.kodaktransforms.com website.
The CEO and CFO certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this report. These certifications are also included with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed on February 29, 2012.
Due to the Debtors restructuring process under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors future operations are uncertain and are affected by a number of risks and uncertainties over which the Company has little or no control.
The Debtors are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties associated with the filing of voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which may lead to potential adverse effects on the Debtors liquidity, results of operations, brand or business prospects. We cannot assure you of the outcome of the Debtors chapter 11 proceedings. Risks associated with the chapter 11 proceedings may adversely impact all entities, including the non-filing Entities, and include an adverse impact on the following:
| the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; |
| the Debtors ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 proceedings and the outcomes of Bankruptcy Court rulings of the proceedings in general; |
| the length of time the Debtors will operate under the chapter 11 proceedings and its ability to successfully emerge; |
| the ability of the Debtors to develop, consummate and implement one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 proceedings; |
| the Debtors ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court and creditor approval of their plan of reorganization and the impact of alternative proposals, views and objections of creditor committees and other stakeholders, which may make it difficult to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization in a timely manner; |
| risks associated with third party motions in the chapter 11 proceedings, which may interfere with the Debtors plan of reorganization; |
| the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity throughout the chapter 11 proceedings; |
| the ability of the Company to secure sufficient financing to support its reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy; |
| increased costs related to the bankruptcy filing and other litigation; |
| The Debtors ability to manage contracts that are critical to operations, to obtain and maintain appropriate terms with customers, suppliers and service providers; |
| whether the Companys non-U.S. subsidiaries continue to operate their businesses in the normal course; |
| the ability to fairly resolve legacy liabilities in alignment with the Debtors plan of reorganization; |
| the outcome of all pre-petition claims against the Debtors; and |
| the Companys ability to maintain existing customers, vendor relationships and expand sales to new customers. |
Continued investment, capital needs, restructuring payments and servicing the Companys debt require a significant amount of cash and the Company may not be able to generate cash necessary to finance these activities, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition and, as a result, its ability to successfully emerge from bankruptcy.
The Companys business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay the principal of, or interest on the Companys indebtedness, or to fund the Companys other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, costs related to the cases and other general corporate requirements.
9
The Companys ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, litigation, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Companys control. We cannot assure you that:
| the Companys businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations; |
| the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash proceeds through the disposition of the Companys Personalized Imaging, Document Imaging and other businesses; |
| the Company will be able to repatriate or move cash to locations where and when it is needed; |
| the Company will realize cost savings, earnings growth and operating improvements resulting from the execution of the Debtors chapter 11 business and restructuring plan; or |
| future sources of funding will be available to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable it to fund the Companys liquidity needs. |
If we cannot fund the Companys liquidity needs, we will have to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, and investments and alliances; selling additional assets; restructuring or refinancing the Companys debt; or seeking additional equity capital. These actions may be restricted as a result of the Debtors chapter 11 proceedings, the DIP Credit Agreement, and, if completed, the Junior DIP Facility. Such actions could increase the Companys debt, negatively impact customer confidence in the Companys ability to provide products and services, reduce the Companys ability to raise additional capital, delay sustained profitability, and adversely affect the Debtors ability to emerge from bankruptcy. We cannot assure you that any of these remedies could, if necessary, be affected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that they would permit us to meet the Companys scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, if we incur additional debt, the risks associated with the Companys substantial leverage, including the risk that we will be unable to service the Companys debt or generate enough cash flow to fund the Companys liquidity needs, could intensify.
The Companys plans to raise cash proceeds from the sale of the Personalized and Document Imaging businesses and the sale of non-core assets may not be successful in raising sufficient cash, may be negatively impacted by factors beyond the Companys control and may harm the perception of us among customers, suppliers and service providers.
A number of factors could influence the Companys ability to successfully raise cash through business and asset sales, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the Unsecured Creditors Committee under chapter 11, the process utilized to sell these businesses and assets, the limited number of potential buyers for these businesses and assets, the purchase price such buyers are willing to offer for these businesses and assets and their capacity to fund the purchase, or the ability of potential buyers to conclude transactions and potential issues in the closing of transactions due to regulatory or governmental review processes. One or more of these factors, or other unknown factors, could negatively affect the timing of planned sales and the level of cash proceeds derived from the sales which could adversely impact the Companys cash generation and liquidity. Further, there is no assurance that these plans will be successful in raising sufficient cash proceeds or that the sale of certain of the Companys businesses and assets, will not harm the Companys customers, suppliers and service providers perception of us.
If we are unsuccessful with the Companys strategic investment decisions, the Companys financial performance could be adversely affected.
The Company has focused its investments on commercial businesses in large growth markets that are positioned for technology and business model transformation, specifically, commercial inkjet, packaging and functional printing solutions, and enterprise services. While we believe each of these businesses has significant growth potential, they may also require additional investment and may not be successful strategies when implemented. The introduction of successful innovative products at market competitive prices, and the achievement of scale are necessary for us to grow these businesses, improve margins and achieve the Companys financial objectives. The introduction of products requires great precision in forecasting demand and understanding commercial business requirements in a rapidly moving marketplace. If we are unsuccessful in growing the Companys investment businesses as planned, or perceiving the needs of the rapidly changing commercial businesses, the Companys financial performance could be adversely affected.
The Companys failure to implement plans, or delays in implementing plans to reduce the Companys cost structure could negatively affect the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
We recognize and have communicated the need to rationalize Kodaks workforce and streamline operations to a leaner more focused organization aligned with its identified emerging businesses and operations. We have started implementing such cost rationalization plans including a restructuring of resources, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, sales and administrative resources, the Companys operations, results, financial position and liquidity could be negatively impacted. There are no assurances that such implementation will be successful or that the results we achieve will be consistent with our expectations. Additionally, if restructuring plans are not effectively managed, we may experience lost customer sales, product delays and other unanticipated effects, causing harm to our business and customer relationships. The business plan associated with the Companys chapter 11 reorganization is subject to a number of assumptions, projections, and analysis. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may be unsuccessful in executing the Companys business plan or achieving the projected results, which could adversely impact our financial results and liquidity. Finally, the timing and implementation of these plans require compliance with numerous
10
laws and regulations, including local labor laws, and the failure to comply with such requirements may result in damages, fines and penalties which could adversely affect the Companys business.
The consummation of the Junior DIP Facility financing and borrowing of loans thereunder is subject to a number of conditions, and there is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived. If we are unable to close our Junior DIP Financing on favorable terms or at all, or if, in such event, we are unable to obtain alternative sources of financing, our ability to finance our operations may be adversely affected.
The consummation of the Junior DIP Facility financing is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, an amendment of our DIP Credit Agreement becoming effective, the absence of any material adverse effect since September 30, 2012 and the occurrence of the closing of the Junior DIP Facility no later than April 5, 2013. There is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived. If we fail to satisfy any of these conditions, including any conditions to the amendment of our DIP Credit Agreement becoming effective, the financing under the Junior DIP Facility will not be made available to us, which, unless we are able to secure alternative sources of financing, may adversely affect our liquidity and, consequently, our businesses, operating results, financial condition and our ability to emerge from bankruptcy.
In addition, a portion of the loans under the Junior DIP Facility will convert into loans under the related exit facility if we meet the conditions precedent to conversion. If we consummate our Junior DIP Financing but fail to meet the conditions precedent to conversion, we will be required to repay in cash our Junior DIP Facility together with accrued and unpaid interest, which may adversely impact our ability to emerge from bankruptcy.
The Companys inability to effectively complete and manage divestitures and other significant transactions could adversely impact the Companys business performance including the Companys financial results.
As part of the Companys strategy, we are engaged in discussions with third parties regarding possible divestitures, asset sales, investments, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and outsourcing transactions and enter into agreements relating to such transactions in order to further the Companys business objectives. In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify suitable buyers, sellers and partners and successfully complete transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage post closing issues such as the elimination of any post sale cost overhang related to divested businesses. Risks of transactions can be more pronounced for larger and more complicated transactions, or if multiple transactions are pursued simultaneously. If we fail to identify and successfully complete transactions that further the Companys strategic objectives, we may be required to expend resources to develop products and technology internally, we may be at a competitive disadvantage or we may be adversely affected by negative market perceptions, any of which may have an adverse effect on the Companys revenue, gross margins and profitability. In addition, unpredictability surrounding the timing of such transactions could adversely affect the Companys financial results.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the requirements under our DIP Credit Agreement and, if applicable, the Junior DIP Facility.
In addition to standard financing covenants and events of default, the DIP Credit Agreement also provides for (i) a periodic delivery by the Company of various financial statements set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement and (ii) specific milestones that the Company must achieve by specific target dates. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are required not to permit consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be less than a specified level for certain periods, and to maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).
A breach of any of the covenants contained in the DIP Credit Agreement or related orders or our inability to comply with the required financial covenants in this agreement, when applicable, could result in an event of default under the DIP Credit agreement, subject, in certain cases, to applicable grace and cure periods. If any event of default occurs and we are not able either to cure it or obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under the agreement, the administrative agent of the DIP Credit Agreement may, and at the request of the requisite lenders shall, declare all of our outstanding obligations under the agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, and the agent under the agreement may, and at the request of the requisite lenders shall, terminate the lenders commitments under the DIP Credit Agreement and cease making further loans, and if applicable, the agent could institute foreclosure proceedings against our pledged assets, which could result in the Company being liquidated. The automatic stay that applies to pre-petition obligations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to these obligations. The lenders may demand more restrictive covenants, operational or business changes and/or economic compensation as conditions to waiving any default or modifying terms prior to default. This could materially and adversely affect our operations, and our ability to emerge from bankruptcy and to satisfy our obligations as they come due.
If we consummate the Junior DIP Facility financing, similar risks will apply with respect to our ability to meet the requirements of the Junior DIP Facility.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the requirements to convert certain loans into an exit facility.
The Junior DIP Facility provides for the conversion of certain loans thereunder into an exit facility, subject to certain conditions. If the Junior DIP Facility financing is not completed, or if, in such event, we are not able to secure alternative financing, our ability to successfully emerge from bankruptcy could be adversely affected.
Conditions to conversion into the exit facility include Bankruptcy Court approval of a plan of reorganization by September 15, 2013, with an effective date no later than September 30, 2013; payment of $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the KPP obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to a certain majority of the Junior DIP Facility lenders, and an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the agreement) above $200 million. Additionally, our ability to convert a portion of the loans under the Junior DIP Facility at emergence is subject to us receiving a cash purchase price of at least $600 million from the disposition of any combination of certain specified assets that are not part of the Commercial Imaging business, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks, trademark licenses, domain names and related intellectual property assets and materials; provided that the consent of a certain majority of the Junior DIP Facility lenders would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition. If we fail to satisfy the condition or it is not waived, we will be required to pay in cash all of our loans under the Junior DIP Facility at emergence, which could adversely affect the Debtors ability to emerge from chapter 11.
Our plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement is not yet available, and the contents of our plan of reorganization are uncertain and highly speculative.
We have not distributed a plan of reorganization to creditors or filed a plan of reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court and may not do so for some time. The plan of reorganization will be accompanied by a disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court and will provide adequate information (as used in the Bankruptcy Code) to those stakeholders entitled to vote on the plan of reorganization. All prepetition claims against the Debtors will likely be subject to compromise in our plan of reorganization and the nature and amount of distributions to prepetition creditors is highly speculative at this time. Additionally, it is unlikely that we will propose to make any distribution on account of the stock of the Company in connection with our plan of reorganization. Any investment in our securities prior to review of a Bankruptcy Court-approved disclosure statement is also highly speculative. The contents of our plan of reorganization will depend on many factors beyond the value of our assets, including the amount of claims against those assets, the resolution of intercompany claims, the results of strategic processes that are underway, our business results, our financing activities, and the outcome of negotiations with creditors. The contents of our plan of reorganization are uncertain and may be dramatically different than the current expectations of the Company or any of its stakeholders. The plan of reorganization also may treat prepetition claims of certain customers, suppliers and continuing business partners more favorably than general unsecured creditors.
The Companys future pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs and required level of contributions could be unfavorably impacted by changes in actuarial assumptions, future market performance of plan assets and obligations imposed by legislation or pension authorities which could adversely affect the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
We have significant defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The funded status of the Companys U.S. and non U.S. defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, and the related cost reflected in the Companys financial statements, are affected by various factors that are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, particularly in the current economic environment. Key assumptions used to value these benefit obligations, funded status and expense recognition include the discount rate for future payment obligations, the long term expected rate of return on plan assets, salary growth, healthcare cost trend rates, and other economic and demographic factors. Significant differences in actual experience, or significant changes in future assumptions or obligations imposed by legislation, pension authorities, or the Bankruptcy Court could lead to a potential future need to contribute cash or assets to the Companys plans in excess of currently estimated contributions and benefit payments and could have an adverse effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
The Kodak Limited Pension Plan in the United Kingdom has a significant underfunded position, which Kodak Limited does not have the capacity to fully fund. Any demands made against Kodak Limited in respect of the pension deficiency or other amounts due to this pension plan could result in the insolvent liquidation of Kodak Limited and other non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Kodak Limited is the statutory employer with respect to the Kodak Pension Plan in the United Kingdom (the KPP), which has an underfunded position of approximately $1.5 billion (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as of December 31, 2012. The Company previously issued a guarantee to Kodak Limited and the trustee of the KPP under which it guaranteed the ability of Kodak Limited to make certain contributions to the KPP. Refer to Note 1, Bankruptcy ProceedingsEastman Kodak Company Guarantee in the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 below, for a description of the guarantee. The trustee of the KPP
11
filed a claim in the chapter 11 case against the Company under this guarantee alleging that the pension deficiency is approximately $2.8 billion. The trustee of the KPP could demand that Kodak Limited fund the full pension deficiency at any time. Kodak Limited does not have assets sufficient to fully fund the KPP deficiency if such a demand were made and not fully covered by funding received from the Company under its guarantee. Since Kodak Limited is not a Debtor in the chapter 11 case, Kodak Limited is not protected by the stay of enforcement proceedings applicable to the Debtors and a KPP claim against Kodak Limited will not be subject to involuntary compromise as part of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In addition, Kodak Limited has not made an annual contribution of approximately $50 million due the KPP for 2012 and this amount could be demanded by the KPP at any time. If KPP demands payment of this amount, Kodak Limited does not have available cash to pay it without drawing on intercompany loans to other Company subsidiaries. Kodak Limited is the largest creditor and sole equity owner of Kodak International Finance Limited, a subsidiary that currently functions as a global cash management company and also has received substantial advances from, and made substantial loans to, various non-U.S. subsidiaries whose liquidity is important to the continued operation of the global group as a going concern.
The Company is in discussions with the trustee of the KPP with respect to the voluntary settlement of the KPP claims against the Company, including Kodak Limited. If there is no voluntary settlement with the KPP, or if a voluntary settlement does not become effective or proves incomplete or inadequate, the trustee of the KPP will, and the Pension Protection Fund and the Pension Regulator in the United Kingdom may, have claims against Kodak Limited and potentially other Kodak group companies in addition to the claims filed by KPP against the Debtors in the Chapter 11 cases. Prosecution of these claims could lead to the insolvent liquidation of Kodak Limited, its subsidiary Kodak International Finance Limited and other non-U.S. subsidiaries. The insolvent liquidation of non-U.S. subsidiaries would result in the loss of control of those subsidiaries by the Company, may disrupt global cash management, and may delay or prevent the successful restructuring of the global group as a going concern. In addition, in the event a non-Debtor subsidiary of the Company shall become insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings, any outstanding amount under the DIP Credit Agreement and, if applicable, Junior DIP Facility principal and interest could become immediately due and payable.
Any settlement with the KPP must be reasonably acceptable to the DIP Facility agent and a certain majority of the Junior DIP Facility lenders, which may make reaching such a settlement more difficult.
If we cannot continue to license or enforce the intellectual property rights on which the Companys business depends, or if third parties assert that we violate their intellectual property rights, the Companys revenue, earnings, expenses and liquidity may be adversely impacted.
We rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and non-disclosure, confidentiality and other types of agreements with the Companys employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish, maintain and enforce the Companys intellectual property rights. Despite these measures, any of the Companys direct or indirect intellectual property rights could, however, be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated, or such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings or other competitive harm. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect the Companys proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third party copying, infringement or use, which could adversely affect the Companys competitive position. Also, because of the rapid pace of technological change in the information technology industry, much of the Companys business and many of the Companys products rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms.
We have made substantial investments in new, proprietary technologies and have filed patent applications and obtained patents to protect the Companys intellectual property rights in these technologies as well as the interests of the Companys licensees. There can be no assurance that the Companys patent applications will be approved, that any patents issued will adequately protect the Companys intellectual property or that such patents will not be challenged by third parties.
In addition, third parties may claim that the Companys customers, licensees or other parties indemnified by us are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. Such claims may be made by competitors seeking to block or limit the Companys access to certain markets. Additionally, in recent years, individuals and groups have begun purchasing intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from large companies like ours. Even if we believe that the claims are without merit, the claims can be time consuming and costly to defend and distract managements attention and resources. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements or pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of the Companys products. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not license the infringed technology at all, license the technology on reasonable terms or substitute similar technology from another source, the Companys revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted. Finally, we use open source software in connection with the Companys products and services. Companies that incorporate open source software into their products have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the ownership of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or noncompliance with open source licensing terms. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of
12
the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. Any requirement to disclose the Companys source code or pay damages for breach of contract could be harmful to the Companys business results of operations and financial condition.
The competitive pressures we face could harm the Companys revenue, gross margins and market share.
The markets in which we do business are highly competitive with large, entrenched, and well financed industry participants. In addition, we encounter aggressive price competition for all our products and services from numerous companies globally. The Companys results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other Industry-wide pricing pressures. If our products, services and pricing are not sufficiently competitive with current and future competitors, we could also lose market share, adversely affecting the Companys revenue and gross margins.
If the Companys commercialization and manufacturing processes fail to prevent product reliability and quality issues, the Companys product launch plans may be delayed, the Companys financial results may be adversely impacted, and the Companys reputation may be harmed.
In developing, commercializing and manufacturing the Companys products and services, we must adequately address reliability and other quality issues, including defects in the Companys engineering, design and manufacturing processes, as well as defects in third-party components included in the Companys products. Because the Companys products are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complicated to develop and commercialize with rapid advances in technologies, the occurrence of defects may increase, particularly with the introduction of new product lines. Unanticipated issues with product performance may delay product launch plans which could result in additional expenses, lost revenue and earnings. Although we have established internal procedures to minimize risks that may arise from product quality issues, there can be no assurance that we will be able to eliminate or mitigate occurrences of these issues and associated liabilities. Product reliability and quality issues can impair the Companys relationships with new or existing customers and adversely affect the Companys brand image, and the Companys reputation as a producer of high quality products could suffer, which could adversely affect the Companys business as well as the Companys financial results. Product quality issues can also result in recalls, warranty, or other service obligations and litigation.
If we cannot effectively anticipate technology trends and develop and market new products to respond to changing customer preferences, the Companys revenue, earnings and cash flow, could be adversely affected.
We must develop and introduce new products and services in a timely manner to keep pace with technological developments and achieve customer acceptance. If we are unable to anticipate new technology trends and develop improvements the Companys current technology to address changing customer preferences, this could adversely affect the Companys revenue, earnings and cash flow. Due to changes in technology and customer preferences, the market for traditional film and paper products and services is in decline. The Companys success depends in part on the Companys ability to manage the decline of the market for these traditional products by continuing to reduce the Companys cost structure to maintain profitability.
Even if a chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, continued weakness or worsening of economic conditions could continue to adversely affect the Companys financial performance and the Companys liquidity.
The global economic environment and declines in consumption in the Companys end markets have adversely affected sales of our products and profitability. This environment and decline was a factor leading to the Company filing for voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Further, global financial markets have been experiencing volatility. Economic conditions could accelerate the continuing decline in demand for traditional products, which could also place pressure on the Companys results of operations and liquidity. There is no guarantee that anticipated economic growth levels in markets that have experienced some economic recovery will continue in the future, or that the Company will succeed in expanding sales in these markets. In addition, accounts receivable and past due accounts could increase due to a decline in the Companys customers ability to pay as a result of the economic downturn, and the Companys liquidity, including the Companys ability to use credit lines, could be negatively impacted by failures of financial instrument counterparties, including banks and other financial institutions. If the global economic weakness and tightness in the credit markets continue for a greater period of time than anticipated or worsen, the Companys profitability and related cash generation capability could be adversely affected and, therefore, affect the Companys ability to meet the Companys anticipated cash needs, impair the Companys liquidity or increase the Companys costs of borrowing.
If we cannot attract, retain and motivate key employees, the Companys revenue and earnings could be harmed.
In order for us to be successful, we must continue to attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees, including technical, managerial, marketing, sales, research and support positions. Hiring and retaining qualified executives, research and engineering professionals, and qualified sales representatives, particularly in the Companys targeted growth markets, is critical to the Companys future. If we cannot attract qualified individuals, retain key executives and employees or motivate the Companys employees, the Companys business could be harmed. The Companys filing for chapter 11 may create additional distractions and uncertainty for employees, and impact the Companys ability to retain key employees and effectively recruit new employees. Furthermore, as is typical in chapter 11 restructurings, there may be changes in the composition of the Companys Board of Directors and its officers following the Companys emergence from chapter 11. The Companys ability to take measures to motivate and retain key employees may be restricted while operating under chapter 11. We may experience increased levels of employee attrition.
13
Due to the nature of the products we sell and the Companys worldwide distribution, we are subject to changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity costs that may adversely impact the Companys results of operations and financial position.
As a result of the Companys global operating and financing activities, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect the Companys results of operations and financial position. Exchange rates and interest rates in markets in which we do business tend to be volatile and at times, the Companys sales can be negatively impacted across all of the Companys segments depending upon the value of the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other major currencies. In addition, the Companys products contain silver, aluminum, petroleum based or other commodity-based raw materials, the prices of which have been and may continue to be volatile. If the global economic situation remains uncertain or worsens, there could be further volatility in changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, which could have negative effects on the Companys revenue and earnings.
If we are unable to provide competitive financing arrangements to Kodaks customers or if we extend credit to customers whose creditworthiness deteriorates, this could adversely impact the Companys revenues, profitability and financial position.
The competitive environment in which we operate may require us to facilitate financing to our customers in order to win a contract. Customer financing arrangements may cover all or a portion of the purchase price for the Companys products and services. We may also assist customers in obtaining financing from banks and other sources. The Companys success may be dependent, in part, upon the Companys ability to provide customer financing on competitive terms and on the Companys customers creditworthiness. The tightening of credit in the global financial markets can adversely affect the ability of the Companys customers to obtain financing for significant purchases, which may result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders for the Companys products and services. If we are unable to provide competitive financing arrangements to our customers or if we extend credit to customers whose creditworthiness deteriorates, this could adversely impact the Companys revenues, profitability and financial position.
We have outsourced a significant portion of the Companys overall worldwide manufacturing, logistics and back office operations and face the risks associated with reliance on third party suppliers.
We have outsourced a significant portion of the Companys overall worldwide manufacturing, logistics, customer support and administrative operations to third parties. To the extent that we rely on third party service providers, we face the risk that those third parties may not be able to:
| develop manufacturing methods appropriate for the Companys products; |
| maintain an adequate control environment; |
| quickly respond to changes in customer demand for the Companys products; |
| obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process; or |
| mitigate the impact of labor shortages and/or disruptions. |
Further, even if the Company honors its payment and other obligations to the Companys key suppliers of products, components and services, such suppliers may choose to unilaterally withhold products, components or services, or demand changes in payment terms. As a result of such risks, we may be unable to meet the Companys customer commitments, the Companys costs could be higher than planned, and the Companys cash flows and the reliability of the Companys products could be negatively impacted. The Company will vigorously enforce its contractual rights under such circumstances, but there is no guarantee we will be successful in preventing or mitigating the effects of unilateral actions by the Companys suppliers. Other supplier problems that we could face include electronic component shortages, excess supply, risks related to favorable terms, the duration of the Companys contracts with suppliers for components and materials and risks related to dependency on single
14
source suppliers on favorable terms or at all. If any of these risks were to be realized, and assuming alternative third party relationships could not be established, we could experience interruptions in supply or increases in costs that might result in the Companys inability to meet customer demand for the Companys products, damage to the Companys relationships with the Companys customers, and reduced market share, all of which could adversely affect the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.
Our worldwide operations could be subject to earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, cyber attacks, terrorism, water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics, political or economic instability, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions, for which we are predominantly self insured. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. In addition, some areas, including parts of the east and west coasts of the United States, have previously experienced, and may experience in the future, major power shortages and blackouts. These blackouts could cause disruptions to our operations or the operations of our suppliers, distributors and resellers, or customers. The impact of these risks is greater in areas where products are manufactured at a sole or limited number of location(s), and where the sourcing of materials is limited to a sole or limited base of suppliers since any material interruption in operations in such locations or suppliers could impact our ability to provide a particular product or service for a period of time. These events could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition, and increase our costs and expenses.
The Companys sales are typically concentrated in the last four months of the fiscal year, therefore, lower than expected demand or increases in costs during that period may have a pronounced negative effect on the Companys results of operations.
We have typically experienced greater net sales in the fourth fiscal quarter as compared with the other three quarters. Developments, such as lower-than-anticipated demand for the Companys products, an internal systems failure, increases in materials costs, or failure of or performance problems with one of the Companys key logistics, components supply, or manufacturing partners, could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and operating results, particularly if such developments occur late in the third quarter or during the fourth fiscal quarter. Equipment and consumable sales in the commercial marketplace peak in the fourth quarter based on increased commercial print demand. Tight credit markets that limit capital investments or a weak economy that decreases print demand could negatively impact equipment or consumable sales. These external developments are often unpredictable and may have an adverse impact on the Companys business and results of operations.
If we fail to manage distribution of the Companys products and services properly, the Companys revenue, gross margins and earnings could be adversely impacted.
We use a variety of different distribution methods to sell and deliver the Companys products and services, including third party resellers and distributors and direct and indirect sales to both enterprise accounts and customers. Successfully managing the interaction of direct and indirect channels to various potential customer segments for the Companys products and services is a complex process. Moreover, since each distribution method has distinct risks and costs, the Companys failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the delivery model for the Companys products and services could adversely affect the Companys revenue, gross margins and earnings. This has concentrated the Companys credit and operational risk and could result in an adverse impact on the Companys financial performance.
We may be required to recognize additional impairments in the value of the Companys goodwill and/or other long-lived assets, which would increase expenses and reduce profitability.
Goodwill represents the excess of the amount we paid to acquire businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of the acquisition. We test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Additionally, the Companys other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Either of these situations may occur for various reasons including changes in actual or expected income or cash flows. We continue to evaluate current conditions to assess whether any impairment exists. Impairments could occur in the future if market or interest rate environments deteriorate, expected future cash flows of the Companys reporting units decline, or if reporting unit carrying values change materially compared with changes in respective fair values. On February 1, 2013, the Company sold its digital imaging patents. The cash flows related to the Intellectual Property goodwill reporting unit from patent licensing activity will significantly change and the fair value of the reporting unit may be materially impacted as a result of the sale.
15
The Companys future results could be harmed if we are unsuccessful in the Companys efforts to expand sales in emerging markets.
Because we are seeking to expand the Companys sales and number of customer relationships outside the United States, and specifically in emerging markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, the Companys business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, such as:
| supporting multiple languages; |
| recruiting sales and technical support personnel with the skills to design, manufacture, sell and supply products; |
| complying with governmental regulation of imports and exports, including obtaining required import or export approval for the Companys products; |
| complexity of managing international operations; |
| exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; |
| commercial laws and business practices that may favor local competition; |
| multiple, potentially conflicting, and changing governmental laws, regulations and practices, including differing export, import, tax, anti-corruption, labor, and employment laws; |
| difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; |
| limitations or restrictions on the repatriation of cash; |
| reduced or limited protection of intellectual property rights; |
| managing research and development teams in geographically disparate locations, including Canada, Israel, Japan, China, and Singapore; |
| complicated logistics and distribution arrangements; and |
| political or economic instability. |
There can be no assurance that we will be able to market and sell our products in all of the Companys targeted markets. If the Companys efforts are not successful, the Companys business growth and results of operations could be harmed.
We are subject to environmental laws and regulations and failure to comply with such laws and regulations or liabilities imposed as a result of such laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we conduct the Companys business, including laws regarding the discharge of pollutants, including greenhouse gases, into the air and water, the need for environmental permits for certain operations, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the content of the Companys products and the recycling and treatment and disposal of the Companys products. If we do not comply with applicable laws and regulations in connection with the use and management of hazardous substances, then we could be subject to liability and/or could be prohibited from operating certain facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. The cost of complying with such laws, and costs associated with the cleanup of contaminated sites, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
New regulations related to conflict minerals will require the Company to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing the Companys products.
In August 2012, the SEC adopted rules requiring disclosure related to sourcing of specified minerals, known as conflict minerals, that are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by public companies. The new rules, effective in 2013, require a report to be filed by May 31, 2014, and if applicable, require companies to undertake due diligence, disclose whether or not such minerals originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country. As a result, additional expenses will be incurred in complying and performing due diligence in complying with the new rules. In addition, the implementation of the new rules could adversely affect the Companys sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in the Companys products. There may only be a limited number of suppliers offering conflict free conflict minerals, and the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain necessary conflict free conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Because the Companys supply chain is complex, the Company may also not be able to sufficiently verify the origins of the relevant minerals used in the Companys products through the due diligence procedures that the Company implements, which may harm the Companys reputation.

Regional distribution centers are located in various places within and outside of the United States. Kodak owns or leases administrative, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and processing facilities in various parts of the world. The leases are for various periods and are generally renewable.
On January 19, 2012, Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (the Filing Subsidiaries, and together with the Company, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the Bankruptcy Filing) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court) case number 12-10202. The Companys foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the Non-Filing Entities) were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Filing Entities continue to operate in the ordinary course of business. On January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the Canadian Borrower and, together with the Company, the Borrowers) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the DIP Credit Agreement). As a result of the Bankruptcy, much of the pending litigation against the Debtors is stayed. Subject to certain exceptions and approval by the Bankruptcy Court, during the chapter 11 process, no party can take further actions to recover pre-petition claims against the Company. Refer to Note 1, Bankruptcy Proceedings in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Subsequent to the Companys chapter 11 filing, between January 27, 2012 and March 22, 2012, several putative class action suits were filed in federal court in the Western District of New York, as putative class action suits, against the current and certain former members of the Board of Directors (Board), the Companys Savings and Investment Plan (SIP) Committee and certain former and current executives of the Company. The suits have been consolidated into a single action brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), styled as In re Eastman Kodak ERISA Litigation, and the current and former members of the Board have been dismissed from those suits. The allegations concern the decline in the Companys stock price and its alleged impact on SIP and on the Companys Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Plaintiffs seek the recovery of any losses to the applicable plans, a constructive trust, the appointment of an independent fiduciary, equitable relief, as applicable, and attorneys fees and costs. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the litigation.
On February 10, 2012, a suit was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York against the Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as a putative class action suit under the federal securities laws, claiming that certain Company statements concerning the Companys business and financial results were misleading (Timothy A. Hutchinson v. Antonio M. Perez, Philip J. Faraci, and Antoinette McCorvey). The Court granted the Companys July 2, 2012 motion to dismiss this case as against all defendants but granted the plaintiffs subsequent motion for leave to amend. Plaintiffs have filed a second amended complaint in which they seek damages with interest, equitable relief as applicable, and attorneys fees and costs. Defendants have moved to dismiss the case.
The Company believes that the ERISA and securities suits are not uncommon for companies in chapter 11. On behalf of the defendants in both cases, the Company believes that the suits are without merit and will vigorously defend them on their behalf.
On September 15, 2003, the Company and Sterling Drug were named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRP) with potential liability for the study and remediation of the Lower Passaic River Study Area (LPRSA) portion of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, based on releases from the former Hilton Davis site in Newark and Lehn & Fink operations in Bloomfield, New Jersey. On February 10, 2004, the Company (through its subsidiary NPEC) joined the Cooperating Parties Group (CPG) and entered into a 122(h) Agreement under CERCLA on June 22, 2004, and a Consent Order with the EPA on May 8, 2007, based on the Companys ownership of Sterling Drug from 1988 to 1994 and retention of certain Sterling Drug liabilities and a defense and indemnification agreement between the Company and Bayer, which purchased all stock in Sterling Drug (now STWB). On February 29, 2012, the Company notified the EPA, STWB, Bayer, and the CPG that under the bankruptcy proceeding, it has elected to discontinue funding and participation in the remedial investigation being implemented by the CPG pursuant to the EPA Order. Bayer and STWB have filed proofs of claim in this matter.
On February 4, 2009, the Company and Sterling Drug were also named as third-party defendants (along with approximately 300 other entities) in an action initially brought by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, Essex County against Occidental Chemical Corporation and several other companies that are successors in interest to Diamond Shamrock Corporation (Diamond Shamrock) (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, et al. v. Occidental Chemical Corp., et al.). This matter has been stayed in the bankruptcy process. Two successors to Diamond Shamrock, Maxus Energy Corporation and Tierra Solutions Incorporated, filed proofs of claims against the Company in relation to this matter, but later withdrew the claims. Bayer and STWB (successor to Sterling Drug) have also filed proofs of claims. Refer to Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Refer to Summary of Operating Data on page 120. The Summary of Operating Data should be read in conjunction with Kodaks consolidated financial statements and related notes set forth in Part IV, Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, and in Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Kodak for the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. All references to Notes relate to Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
OVERVIEW
The Bankruptcy Filing is intended to permit Kodak to reorganize and increase liquidity in the U.S., monetize non-strategic intellectual property and businesses, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and focus on the most valuable business lines to enable sustainable profitability. The Debtors goal is to develop and implement a reorganization plan that meets the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtors have made progress toward these objectives, including the following:
| In November 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a settlement agreement between the Debtors and the retiree committee appointed by the U.S. Trustee related to its U.S. postretirement benefit plans. Under the settlement agreement, the Debtors will no longer provide retiree medical, dental, life insurance, and survivor income benefits to current and future retirees after December 31, 2012 (other than COBRA continuation coverage of medical and/or dental benefits available to active employees or conversion coverage as required by the plans or applicable law). |
| In February 2013, Kodak received approximately $530 million related to the sale and licensing of certain of its intellectual property assets and repaid approximately $419 million of the outstanding term loan under the DIP Credit Agreement. |
| On February 28, 2013, the Company and members of the Steering Committee of the Second Lien Noteholders agreed to structure and arrange a junior secured priming super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the Junior DIP Facility) in an aggregate amount of up to $848 million. The Junior DIP Facility would allow for a conversion of up to $654 million of the loans, upon emergence from chapter 11, into permanent exit financing, subject to certain conditions. Closing of the agreement is subject to certain conditions, including consent by the Asset-Based Loan (ABL) lenders under the existing DIP Credit Agreement, and completion by April 5, 2013. |
Kodak is focusing its reorganization plan on its commercial imaging businesses; Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films and Digital Printing and Enterprise Services. In order to focus on its most valuable business lines, Kodak exited its digital capture and devices business, including digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and digital picture frames and sold certain assets of its Kodak Gallery business. Additionally, Kodak has announced its decision to initiate sale processes for its Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses. Kodak has also announced that it is focusing its Consumer Inkjet business solely on the sale of ink to its installed printer base.
Revenue and profitability for the year ended December 31, 2012 declined from the prior year primarily due to volume declines across all segments. Kodak has been working to mitigate the effects on profitability of the lower sales volumes by improving gross profit percentages and reducing costs, including by leveraging the bankruptcy process to negotiate more favorable supplier and customer contract terms. The costs of the bankruptcy proceedings have also significantly impacted profitability in 2012.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements contain information that is pertinent to managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Kodak believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below involve the most complex management judgments due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout this MD&A, where such policies affect Kodaks reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8.
The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared assuming that Kodak will continue as a going concern, even though the Bankruptcy Filing raises substantial doubt about Kodaks ability to continue as a going concern. The
25
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should Kodak be unable to continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition
Kodaks revenue transactions include sales of the following: products, equipment, software, services, integrated solutions, and intellectual property licensing. Kodak recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The timing and the amount of revenue recognized from the licensing of intellectual property depend upon a variety of factors, including the specific terms of each agreement and the nature of the deliverables and obligations. For the sale of multiple-element arrangements, including whereby equipment or intellectual property is combined in a revenue generating transaction with other elements, Kodak allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements based on their relative selling price. As of January 1, 2011, Kodak allocates to, and recognizes revenue from, the various elements of multiple-element arrangements based on relative selling price of a deliverable, using vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, and best estimated selling price in accordance with the selling price hierarchy.
At the time revenue is recognized, Kodak also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs. Such incentive programs include cash and volume discounts, price protection, promotional, cooperative and other advertising allowances. For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates, Kodak uses historical experience and both internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time revenue is recognized. In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, adjustments to the sales incentive accruals would be recorded.
Valuation and Useful Lives of Long-Lived Assets, Including Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Kodak tests goodwill for impairment annually on September 30, and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Kodak tests goodwill for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. When two or more components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics, the components are aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit. An operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if all of its components are similar, if none of its components is a reporting unit, or if the segment comprises only a single component.
As a result of the change in segments that became effective as of September 30, 2012, Kodaks reporting units changed. The Personalized and Document Imaging segment has three reporting units: Personalized Imaging, Document Imaging and Intellectual Property. The Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films segment has two reporting units: Graphics and Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films. The Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment has four reporting units: Digital Printing, Packaging and Functional Printing, Enterprise Services and Solutions, and Consumer Inkjet Systems.
Prior to the September 30, 2012 change in reporting units, the only reporting units with goodwill remaining were the Consumer Digital Imaging Group (CDG) and the Business Services and Solutions Group (BSSG). Consumer Inkjet Systems which was part of the CDG reporting unit was transferred to the Digital Printing and Enterprise segment. Personalized Imaging and Intellectual Property, which were part of the CDG reporting unit, are now included in the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment. Document Imaging, which was part of the BSSG reporting unit, was transferred to the Personalized and Document Imaging segment. Workflow software which was part of BSSG was transferred to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films segment. Enterprise Services and Solutions which was part of BSSG is included in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment. Goodwill was reassigned to affected reporting units using a relative fair value allocation.
Goodwill is tested by initially comparing the fair value of each of Kodaks reporting units to their related carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, Kodak must determine the implied fair value of the goodwill associated with that reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by first allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities and then computing the excess of the reporting units fair value over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, such excess represents the amount of goodwill impairment charge that must be recognized.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value, however the market price of an individual equity security may not be representative of the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole and, therefore need not be the sole measurement basis of the fair value of a reporting unit.
26
Kodak estimates the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach and a market approach. To estimate fair value utilizing the market approach, Kodak applies valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies, to the same operating data of the reporting units. The valuation multiples are based on a combination of the last twelve months (LTM) financial measures of revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
Prior to 2011, the use of each of the income and market approaches provided corroboration for each other and Kodak believed each methodology provided equally valuable information. For the 2011 annual goodwill test, the market approach was not utilized because reporting unit LTM EBIT and EBITDA results were negative, which would have only allowed the application of a revenue multiple in determining fair value under the market approach, and/or reporting units ranked below all the selected market participants for these financial measures. When using the market approach, multiples should be derived from companies that exhibit a high degree of comparability to the business being valued.
For the 2012 annual goodwill test for all reporting units except for Document Imaging, Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films and the Graphics reporting units, Kodak did not utilize the market approach due to LTM EBIT and EBITDA results being negative. Kodak ultimately gave 100% weighting to the income approach for the Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films and Graphics reporting units due to the declining projections for these reporting units. Kodak determined fair value of the Document Imagining reporting unit using 50% weighting of the income and market approach.
To estimate fair value utilizing the income approach, Kodak establishes an estimate of future cash flows for each reporting unit and discounts those estimated future cash flows to present value. The discount rates are estimated based on an after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for each reporting unit reflecting the rate of return that would be expected by a market participant. The WACC also takes into consideration a company specific risk premium for each reporting unit reflecting the risk associated with the overall uncertainty of the financial projections. Key assumptions used in the income approach for the September 30, 2012 goodwill impairment tests, except for the Intellectual Property reporting unit, were: (a) expected cash flows for the period ranging from October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2019; and (b) discount rates of 22% to 28%, which were based on Kodaks best estimates of the after-tax weighted-average cost of capital of each reporting unit.
A terminal value is included for all reporting units, except for the Intellectual Property and Consumer Inkjet Systems reporting units, at the end of the cash flow projection period to reflect the remaining value that the reporting unit is expected to generate. The terminal value is calculated using the constant growth method (CGM) based on the cash flows of the final year of the discrete period. If significant growth is projected in the final year of the cash flow projection period, then the CGM is not applied to that year. Rather, the projection period is extended until the growth in the final year approaches a sustainable level. The expected cash flow forecasts for Digital Printing, Packaging and Functional Printing, and Enterprise Services and Solutions were extended by two years due to the rate of growth in the projections toward the end of the projection period. For all other reporting units, the number of periods utilized in the cash flow model for the 2012 goodwill impairment test was the same as the number used in the 2011 goodwill valuation (5+ years).
The Intellectual Property reporting unit includes licensing activities related to Kodaks intellectual property (IP) in digital imaging products and certain branded licensed products. In August 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Companys motion of bidding procedures to auction its digital imaging patent portfolios. In September 2012, the Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to adjourn the sale of its digital imaging patent portfolios until further notice. As of September 30, 2012, the Company continued to explore strategic alternatives while the auction process continued, including licensing transactions, or retaining the patent portfolio and creating a newly formed licensing company as a source of recovery for creditors in the reorganization plan. In order to estimate the fair value of the Intellectual Property reporting unit, Kodak developed estimates of future cash flows both assuming a sale of the digital imaging patent portfolios (the IP-Sale Scenario) and assuming no sale of the digital imaging patent portfolios but the continuation of the patent licensing program over the remaining life of the patent portfolio as a newly formed licensing company (the No-IP Sale Scenario). For purposes of the goodwill valuation, the IP-Sale Scenario and the No-IP Sale Scenario were weighted equally in estimating the fair value of the Intellectual Property reporting unit. A discount rate of 45% was utilized to discount the estimated future cash flows to present value.
On September 28, 2012, Kodak announced a plan, starting in 2013, to focus its Consumer Inkjet business solely on the sale of ink to its installed printer. For purposes of the goodwill valuation, Kodak did not include a terminal value at the end of the cash flow projection period for the Consumer Inkjet reporting unit.
Based upon the results of Kodaks September 30, 2012 analysis, no impairment of goodwill was indicated.
On February 1, 2013, Kodak sold its digital imaging patents. The cash flows related to the Intellectual Property reporting unit from patent licensing activity will significantly change and the fair value may be materially impacted as a result of the sale. The goodwill assigned to the Intellectual Property reporting unit as of December 31, 2012 approximated $113 million.
27
Kodak announced in August 2012, its decision to initiate sale processes for its Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses. The cash flows related to these reporting units could significantly change and materially impact the fair value of these reporting units depending on the sale process or other factors. Total goodwill assigned to the Personalized and Document Imaging businesses approximated $147 million as of December 31, 2012.
A 20 percent change in estimated future cash flows or a 10 percentage point change in discount rate in the remaining reporting units would not have caused material goodwill impairment charges to be recognized by Kodak as of September 30, 2012. Additional impairment of goodwill could occur in the future if market or interest rate environments deteriorate, expected future cash flows decrease or if reporting unit carrying values change materially compared with changes in respective fair values.
Kodaks long-lived assets other than goodwill are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, Kodak compares the carrying value of an asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment is indicated if the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset group. The impairment is the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the long-lived asset group.
In 2005, Kodak shortened the useful lives of certain production machinery and equipment in the traditional film and paper businesses as a result of the anticipated acceleration of the decline in those businesses at that time. The result of that change was that the related production machinery and equipment was scheduled to be fully depreciated by mid-2010 for the traditional film and paper businesses. In 2010, and again in 2011, with the benefit of additional experience in the secular decline in these product groups, Kodak assessed that overall film and paper demand had declined but at a slower rate than anticipated in previous analyses. Therefore, with respect to production machinery and equipment and buildings in film and paper manufacturing locations that were expected to continue production beyond the previously estimated useful life, Kodak extended the useful lives.
Kodak depreciates the cost of property, plant, and equipment over its expected useful life in such a way as to allocate it as equitably as possible to the periods during which services are obtained from their use, which aims to distribute the cost over the estimated useful life of the unit in a systematic and rational manner. An estimate of useful life not only considers the economic life of the asset, but also the remaining life of the asset to the entity. Because the film and paper businesses are experiencing industry related volume declines, changes in the estimated useful lives of production equipment for those businesses have been related to estimated industry demand, in addition to production capacity of the particular property.
Income Taxes
Kodak recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating losses, credit carry-forwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of Kodaks assets and liabilities. Kodak records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Kodak has considered forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the geographical mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which Kodak operates and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for these valuation allowances. As of December 31, 2012, Kodak has net deferred tax assets before valuation allowances of approximately $3.4 billion and a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of approximately $2.8 billion, resulting in net deferred tax assets of approximately $0.6 billion. If Kodak were to determine that it would not be able to realize a portion of its net deferred tax assets in the future, for which there is currently no valuation allowance, an adjustment to the net deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made. Conversely, if Kodak were to make a determination that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets, for which there is currently a valuation allowance, would be realized, the related valuation allowance would be reduced and a benefit to earnings would be recorded. Kodak considers both positive and negative evidence, in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed by territory, including, but not limited to, whether particular entities are in three year cumulative income positions. During 2012, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not be realized due to reduced manufacturing volumes negatively impacting profitability in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly, recorded a provision of $30 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
In general, the amount of tax expense or benefit from continuing operations is determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or loss, such as Other comprehensive (loss) income. However, an exception to this rule applies when there is a loss from continuing operations and income from items outside of continuing operations that must be considered. This exception requires that income from discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income be considered in determining the amount of tax benefit that results from a loss in continuing operations. This exception affects the allocation of the tax provision amongst categories of income.
During 2011, Kodak concluded that the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries would no longer be considered permanently reinvested. After assessing the assets of the subsidiaries relative to specific opportunities for reinvestment, as well
28
as the forecasted uses of cash for both its domestic and foreign operations, Kodak concluded that it was prudent to change its indefinite reinvestment assertion to allow greater flexibility in its cash management.
Kodak operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time for resolution. Managements ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of these issues and related tax positions require judgment, and although management believes that adequate provisions have been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of Kodak. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provisions would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Kodaks defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations are estimated using several key assumptions. These assumptions, which are reviewed at least annually by Kodak, include the discount rate, long-term expected rate of return on plan assets (EROA), salary growth, healthcare cost trend rate and other economic and demographic factors. Actual results that differ from Kodaks assumptions are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses and are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of the active participants in the plan or, if almost all of a plans participants are inactive, the average remaining lifetime expectancy of inactive participants, to the extent such total net unrecognized gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the plans projected benefit obligation or the calculated value of plan assets. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in future assumptions would affect Kodaks pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations.
Asset and liability modeling studies are utilized by Kodak to adjust asset exposures and review a liability hedging program through the use of forward looking correlation, risk and return estimates. Those forward looking estimates of correlation, risk and return generated from the modeling studies are also used to estimate the EROA. The EROA is estimated utilizing a forward-looking building block model factoring in the expected risk of each asset category, return and correlation over a 5-7 year horizon, and weighting the exposures by the current asset allocation. Historical inputs are utilized in the forecasting model to frame the current market environment with adjustments made based on the forward looking view. Kodak aggregates investments into major asset categories based on the underlying benchmark of the strategy. Kodaks asset categories include broadly diversified exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. equities, U.S. and non-U.S. government and corporate bonds, inflation-linked bonds, commodities and absolute return strategies. Each allocation to these major asset categories is determined within the overall asset allocation to accomplish unique objectives, including enhancing portfolio return, providing portfolio diversification, or hedging plan liabilities.
The EROA, once set, is applied to the calculated value of plan assets in the determination of the expected return component of Kodaks pension expense. Kodak uses a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of assets over a four-year period, to calculate expected return on assets. At December 31, 2012, the calculated value of the assets of Kodaks major U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was approximately $7.3 billion and the fair value was also approximately $7.3 billion. Asset gains and losses that are not yet reflected in the calculated value of plan assets are not included in amortization of unrecognized gains and losses.
Kodak reviews its EROA assumption annually. To facilitate this review, every three years, or when market conditions change materially, Kodaks larger plans will undertake asset allocation or asset and liability modeling studies. The weighted average EROA for major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans used to determine net pension expense was 8.52% and 7.02%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Generally, Kodak bases the discount rate assumption for its significant plans on high quality corporate bond yields in the respective countries as of the measurement date. Specifically, for its U.S. and Canadian plans, Kodak determines a discount rate using a cash flow model to incorporate the expected timing of benefit payments and an AA-rated corporate bond yield curve. For Kodaks U.S. plans, the Citigroup Above Median Pension Discount Curve is used. For Kodaks other non-U.S. plans, the discount rates are determined by comparison to published local high quality bond yields or indices considering estimated plan duration and removing any outlying bonds, as warranted.
The salary growth assumptions are determined based on Kodaks long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. The healthcare cost trend rate assumptions are based on historical cost and payment data, the near-term outlook and an assessment of the likely long-term trends.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change to certain key assumptions used in the calculation of expense for the year ending December 31, 2013 and the projected benefit obligation (PBO) at December 31, 2012 for Kodaks major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans:

Total pension cost from continuing operations before special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements for the major funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. was $39 million in 2012 and is expected to increase to approximately $55 million in 2013. Pension expense from continuing operations before special termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major funded and unfunded non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans is projected to increase from $71 million in 2012 to approximately $80 million in 2013.
Additionally, Kodak expects the income, before curtailment and settlement gains and losses of its major other postretirement benefit plans, to be approximately $103 million in 2013 as compared with income of $12 million for 2012. The change is primarily due to the impacts of the settlement agreement between the Debtors and the retiree committee appointed by the U.S. Trustee related to its U.S. postretirement benefit plans. Refer to Note 1, Bankruptcy Proceedings, in the Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional information related to the settlement agreement.
Environmental Commitments
Environmental liabilities are accrued based on undiscounted estimates of known environmental remediation responsibilities. The liabilities include accruals for sites owned or leased by Kodak, sites formerly owned or leased by Kodak, and other third party sites where Kodak was designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP). The amounts accrued for such sites are based on these estimates, which are determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-06, Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters. The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model that forecasts a range of cost estimates for the remediation required at individual sites. Kodaks estimate includes equipment and operating costs for investigations, remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites. Such estimates may be affected by changing determinations of what constitutes an environmental liability or an acceptable level of remediation. Kodaks estimate of its environmental liabilities may also change if the proposals to regulatory agencies for desired methods and outcomes of remediation are viewed as not acceptable, or additional exposures are identified. Kodak has an ongoing monitoring process to assess how activities, with respect to the known exposures, are progressing against the accrued cost estimates.
Additionally, in many of the countries in which Kodak operates, environmental regulations exist that require Kodak to handle and dispose of asbestos in a special manner if a building undergoes major renovations or is demolished. Kodak records a liability equal to the estimated fair value of its obligation to perform asset retirement activities related to the asbestos, computed using an expected present value technique, when sufficient information exists to calculate the fair value.

Revenues
Current Year
For the year ended December 31, 2012, net sales decreased approximately 20% compared with the same period in 2011 primarily due to volume declines across all segments. Also included in the total decline was the $61 million license revenue reduction reflecting sharing, with licensees, of the withholding tax refund received in the first quarter of 2012 (refer to Note 18, Income Taxes for additional information). See segment discussions below for additional information.
Prior Year
For the year ended December 31, 2011, net sales decreased approximately 14% compared with the same period in 2010 due to a decline in the P&DI segment primarily driven by lower revenue from non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreements (-13%), as discussed below. Also contributing to the decrease in net sales were volume declines within the GECF segment (-3%). Partially offsetting these declines were volume improvements within the DP&E segment (+2%). See segment discussion below for additional information.
Included in revenues were non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreements. These licensing agreements contributed $82 million and $838 million to revenues in 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no significant non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreements in 2012.
Gross Profit
Current Year
The decrease in gross profit percent from 2011 to 2012 was driven by an increase in manufacturing and other costs (-2pp) primarily due to an increase in pension and other postemployment benefit costs in the current year. Also contributing to the decline was unfavorable price mix within the P&DI segment (-2pp) primarily attributable to the $61 million licensing revenue reduction as noted above. Favorable price/mix within the DP&E segment, due to the focus on liquidity within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+3pp), partially offset the negative impacts noted. See segment discussions below for additional details.
Prior Year
The decrease in gross profit margin from 2010 to 2011 was driven by lower margins within the P&DI segment (-10pp), largely due to the decrease in revenue from the non-recurring intellectual property agreements as discussed below.
Included in gross profit margin were non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreements. These licensing agreements contributed $82 million and $838 million to revenues in 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no significant non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreements in 2012. See revenue discussion above regarding agreements related to the monetization of certain of the Companys intellectual property assets, including the sale of its digital imaging patents.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decreases in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) from 2011 to 2012 and 2010 to 2011 were primarily the result of cost reduction actions.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in consolidated research and development costs (R&D) from 2011 to 2012 and 2010 to 2011 was primarily attributable to cost reduction actions.
Restructuring Costs and Other
These costs, as well as the restructuring costs reported in Cost of sales, are discussed under the RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER section in this MD&A.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net
On March 5, 2010, the Company issued $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 9.75% senior secured notes due March 1, 2018. The net proceeds of this issuance were used to repurchase all of the $300 million of 10.5% senior secured notes due 2017 previously issued to Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. L.P. (the KKR Notes) and $200 million of 7.25% senior notes due 2013 (collectively the Notes). Kodak recognized a net loss of $102 million on the early extinguishment of the Notes in the first quarter of 2010, representing the difference between the carrying values of the Notes and the costs to repurchase. This difference between the carrying values and costs to repurchase was primarily due to the original allocation of the proceeds received from the issuance of the KKR Notes to Additional paid-in-capital for the value of the detachable warrants issued to the holders of the KKR Notes.

The change in Kodaks effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2012 as compared with 2011 is primarily attributable to: (1) a benefit as a result of tax accounting impacts related to items reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2012, (2) a benefit as a result of Kodak reaching a settlement with a taxing authority in a location outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2012, (3) a benefit as a result of the U.S Internal Revenue Service federal audit settlement for calendar years 2001 through 2005 during the year ended December 31, 2011, (4) an increase as a result of foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings, (5) a decrease as a result of Kodak reaching a settlement with taxing authorities outside the U.S., (6) a decrease as a result of losses generated in the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to managements conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (7) an increase as a result of the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., and (8) a benefit as a result of the release of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in a certain jurisdiction outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2011.
The change in Kodaks effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2011 as compared with 2010 is primarily attributable to: (1) a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $626 million that resulted in a tax benefit of only $2 million due to the limited amount of tax deductible goodwill that existed as of December 31, 2010, (2) a decrease associated with the release of deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions outside of the U.S., (3) incremental withholding taxes related to non-recurring licensing agreements entered into during 2010 as compared with 2011, (4) the mix of earnings from operations in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2010, (5) a provision associated with the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2011, (6) a provision associated with legislative tax rate changes in a jurisdiction outside the U.S., (7) a provision related to withholding taxes in undistributed earnings during the year ended December 31, 2011, (8) a benefit as a result of Kodak reaching a settlement with a taxing authority in a location outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2011, (9) a benefit as a result of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service federal audit settlement for calendar years 2001 through 2005 during the year ended December 31, 2011, and (10) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to managements conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized.

Revenues
Current Year
The decrease in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment net sales of approximately 23% for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily driven by volume declines within Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films (-11%), largely attributable to reduced demand, and within Graphics, largely attributable to lower demand for digital plates (-3%) and output devices (-2%).
Prior Year
The decrease in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment net sales of approximately 6% for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to volume declines within Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films (-7%), largely attributable to reduced demand due to secular decline in the industry. Also contributing to the decline was unfavorable price/mix for prepress solutions (-3%) within Graphics due to competitive pricing in the industry. Partially offsetting these declines were volume improvements for prepress solutions digital plates (+2%) due to increased print demand in emerging markets.
37

Revenues
Current Year
The decrease in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment net sales of approximately 14% for the year ended December 31, 2012 was driven by volume declines within Digital Printing attributable to lower placements of commercial equipment (-6%), and within Consumer Inkjet Systems (-7%) driven by lower consumer printer sales. Partially offsetting these declines was favorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+3%) due to pricing actions in the current year.
Prior Year
The increase in Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment net sales of approximately 16% for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to volume improvements within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+13%) and within Packaging and Functional Printing (+4%) due to increased demand. Partially offsetting these increases was unfavorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (-2%) due to competitive pricing for consumer printers.
Gross Profit
Current Year
The increase in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment gross profit percent for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to favorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+14pp), due to a greater proportion of consumer ink sales and pricing actions in the current year. Also contributing to the increase in gross profit percent were cost reductions within Digital Printing (+3pp), driven by improved inventory management as Kodak continued to focus on liquidity.
Prior Year
Gross profit percent in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased driven by increased manufacturing and other costs within Digital Printing (-7pp), attributable to start-up costs associated with the stabilization of the PROSPER printing systems. Also contributing to the decrease was unfavorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (-3pp) due to the competitive pricing noted above. Partially offsetting these declines were cost improvements within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+6pp) due to improved quality and component cost reductions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in SG&A from 2011 to 2012 was driven by reductions in advertising expense (-15%) and selling expense (-11%) as part of Kodaks focused cost reduction actions. The increase in SG&A from 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to increased investment in selling expense associated with increasing the installed base within Digital Printing.
Research and Development Costs
The decrease in R&D from 2011 to 2012 was primarily attributable to cost reduction actions.

Revenues
Current Year
The Personalized and Document Imaging Segment revenue decline of approximately 20% for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to volume declines within Personalized Imaging largely due to reduced demand for paper and output systems (-8%) and consumer film (-2%). Also contributing to the revenue decline was lower revenue within Intellectual Property (-9%) due to the $61 million license revenue reduction reflecting sharing, with licensees, of the withholding tax refund received in the first quarter of 2012 (refer to Note 18, Income Taxes for additional information). Partially offsetting these declines was favorable price/mix within Personalized Imaging (+2%), due to the results of pricing actions in paper and output systems, and volume improvements for retail systems solutions (+2%) due to increased demand.
Prior Year
The Personalized and Document Imaging Segment revenue decline of approximately 32% for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-recurring intellectual property royalty revenues (-28%). Volume declines within Personalized Imaging (-3%), driven by industry-related declines for film and paper, also contributed to the decline.
Gross Profit
Current Year
The decrease in gross profit percent for the year ended December 31, 2012 was attributable to lower margins within Intellectual Property (-7pp) due to the $61 million licensing revenue reduction as noted above. Partially offsetting this decline
40
was favorable price/mix within Personalized Imaging (+4pp) driven by the pricing actions in paper and output systems noted above.
Prior Year
The decrease in gross profit percent for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to lower margins within Intellectual Property, driven by lower non-recurring intellectual property royalty revenues (-22pp). Also contributing to the decline were higher costs, primarily related to silver (-3pp).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decreases in SG&A from 2011 to 2012 and 2010 to 2011 were primarily the result of cost reduction actions.
Research and Development Costs
The decreases in R&D from 2011 to 2012 and 2010 to 2011 were primarily attributable to cost reduction actions.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
2012
Restructuring actions taken in 2012 were initiated to reduce Kodaks cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability. Actions included the winding down of sales of consumer inkjet printers, the digital capture and devices business exit, traditional product manufacturing capacity reductions in the U.S. and Mexico, workforce reductions triggered by the Kodak Gallery wind-down, consolidation of thermal media manufacturing in the U.S. and various targeted reductions in research and development, sales, service, and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, Kodak recorded $271 million of charges during 2012, including $13 million of charges for accelerated depreciation and $4 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, and $26 million which was reported as discontinued operations. The remaining $228 million of charges were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $99 million.
The charges of $271 million recorded in 2012 included $93 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, $20 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, $24 million applicable to the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment, and $108 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments. The remaining $26 million was applicable to discontinued operations.
The restructuring actions implemented in 2012 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $286 million. These savings are expected to reduce future annual Cost of sales, SG&A, and R&D expenses by $116 million, $120 million, and $50 million, respectively. Kodak began realizing a portion of these savings in 2012, and expects the majority of the annual savings to be in effect by the end of 2013 as actions are completed.
2011
For the year ended December 31, 2011, Kodak incurred restructuring charges of $133 million. The $133 million of restructuring charges included $10 million of costs related to accelerated depreciation and $2 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, and $3 million which was reported as discontinued operations. The remaining charges of $118 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
2010
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Kodak incurred restructuring charges of $78 million. The $78 million of restructuring charges included $6 million of costs related to accelerated depreciation and $2 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, and $1 million which was reported as
41
discontinued operations. The remaining charges of $69 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in continuing operations from operating activities decreased $665 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the prior year, primarily due to non-payment of pre-petition liabilities. Additionally, cash provided by discontinued operations improved by $71 million due to working capital changes associated with the discontinued operations in the current year. Partially offsetting this improvement was the incremental payment of reorganization and restructuring costs of approximately $195 million in the current year.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities increased $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the prior year, due to decreases in current period capital expenditures of $59 million, as well as cash used for a business acquisition in the prior year of $27 million and the funding of a restricted cash account of $22 million in the prior year. Partially offsetting these cash improvements was a decrease in proceeds from the sales of businesses/assets of $63 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $262 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared with the prior year, due to the net borrowing increase of $256 million in the current year, driven by the first quarter net borrowing increase, and the proceeds from the sale and leaseback of a property in Mexico in the first quarter for approximately $41 million. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in reorganization items of $41 million. Refer to discussion below for more details on current period financing activities.

Sources of Liquidity
Kodak historically used cash received from operations, including intellectual property licensing, and the sale of non-core assets to fund its investment in its growth businesses and its transformation from a traditional film manufacturing company to a digital technology company. While Kodak develops its reorganization plan, the need to invest in its businesses will be balanced with the need to improve liquidity.
Kodak is focusing on its most valuable business lines to enable sustained profitability. During the third quarter of 2012 Kodak exited its digital capture and devices and Kodak Gallery businesses. Kodak has also announced that starting in 2013, its Consumer Inkjet business will solely consist of selling ink to its installed printer base.
One of the objectives of the Bankruptcy Filing is to resolve certain legacy liabilities that require significant uses of cash. During 2012 and 2011, Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) of $153 million and $217 million, respectively, relating to its major defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The decline in 2012 from 2011 is primarily due to the fact that the 2012 contribution to the Kodak Pension Plan (the KPP) in the United Kingdom has been deferred and is intended to be considered as part of the overall resolution of the chapter 11 claims of the Trustee of the KPP and of Kodak Limited, the sponsoring employer. Kodak estimates contributions and benefit payments relating to its major defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2013 of $58 million. The expected decline in 2013 from 2012 is primarily due to the discontinuation of U.S. retiree medical, dental, life insurance, and survivor income benefits (other than COBRA continuation coverage or conversion rights as required by the applicable benefit plans or applicable law) in 2013. See Note 1, Bankruptcy Proceedings, in the Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8 for additional information.
In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the Canadian Borrower and, together with the Company, the Borrowers) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 25, 2012, March 5, 2012, April 26, 2012, December 19, 2012 and February 6, 2013 (the DIP Credit Agreement), with certain subsidiaries of the Company and the Canadian Borrower signatory thereto (Subsidiary Guarantors), the lenders signatory thereto (the Lenders), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and book-runner, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, administration agent and co-collateral agent (the Agent). Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to lend in an aggregate principal amount of up to $950 million, consisting of up to $250 million super-priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities and an up to $700 million super-priority senior secured term loan facility.
During 2012 the Company borrowed $700 million in term loans, issued approximately $126 million of letters of credit, and had secured agreements of $20 million under the revolving credit facilities. Under the DIP Credit Agreement borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers had approximately $45 million available under the revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2012. The DIP Credit Agreement limits, among other things, the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) prepay subordinated indebtedness and make other restricted payments, (v) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (vi) modify the terms of any organizational documents and certain material contracts of the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition to standard obligations, the DIP Credit Agreement provides for specific milestones that Kodak must achieve by specific target dates. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) of not less than a specified level for certain periods, with the specified levels ranging from $(130) million to $175 million depending on the applicable period. The Company and its subsidiaries must also maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) ranging from $100 million to $250 million depending on the applicable period. Kodak was required to maintain U.S. Liquidity of $125 million, $250 million, and $150 million for the periods from January 20, 2012 to February 15, 2012; February 16, 2012 to March 31, 2012; and April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012, respectively. From October 1, 2012 through the termination of the DIP Credit Agreement, Kodak must maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity of $100 million, subject to increase under certain circumstances as described in the DIP Credit Agreement. Kodak was in compliance with all covenants under the DIP Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2012. The Company must prepay the DIP Credit Agreement with all net cash proceeds from sales of or casualty events relating to certain types of collateral consisting of accounts, inventory, equipment or machinery that constitute collateral. In addition, all net cash proceeds from any sale in respect of the Companys digital imaging patent portfolio must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement. With respect to all other asset sales or casualty events, or intellectual property licensing or settlement agreements, 75% of the net cash proceeds must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement and 25% may be retained by the Company. However, once the Companys share of these retained proceeds totals $150 million, all remaining and future net cash proceeds must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement (retained proceeds were $12 million as of December 31, 2012).
On February 1, 2013, Kodak entered into a series of agreements under which it received approximately $530 million of proceeds, net of withholding taxes, a portion of which was paid by intellectual property licensees and a portion of which was paid by the
43
acquirers of Kodaks digital imaging patent portfolio. In accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement, approximately $419 million of the proceeds was used to prepay the term loan under the DIP Credit Agreement.
On February 28, 2013, the Company and members of the Steering Committee of the Second Lien Noteholders (the Commitment Parties) agreed to structure and arrange a Junior DIP Facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $848 million of term loans. The term loans would consist of first lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $455 million (the New Money Loans) and junior lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $375 million consisting of a dollar-for-dollar roll-up (such loans, the Rolled-Up Loans) for a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Companys 2019 Senior Secured Notes issued March 15, 2011 and 2018 Senior Secured Notes issued March 5, 2010 (the Second Lien Notes). The Bankruptcy Filing created an event of default under the Second Lien Notes. The Junior DIP Facility will allow for payment of certain fees in cash or additional New Money Loans. The Junior DIP Facility would also contain provisions allowing for a conversion of up to $654 million of the Junior DIP Facility loans upon emergence from chapter 11 into permanent exit financing with a five year term, provided that Kodak meets certain conditions and milestones, including Bankruptcy Court approval of a reorganization plan by September 15, 2013 with an effective date of no later than September 30, 2013; repayment of $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the KPP obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders (as defined in the agreement with the Commitment Parties); there shall have been an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the agreement with the Commitment Parties) above $200 million; and receiving at least $600 million in cash proceeds through the disposition of certain specified assets that are not part of the Commercial Imaging business, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks and related rights provided that, consent of the Required Lead Lenders would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and/or Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition. Closing of the Junior DIP Facility is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Junior DIP Facility, repayment in full of the term loans under the DIP Credit Agreement and consent of the ABL lenders under the existing DIP Credit Agreement. On March 1, 2013, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the Junior DIP Facility. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors motion on March 8, 2013. The agreement with the Commitment Parties expires on April 5, 2013.
On February 6, 2013, the Company received consents for an amendment from the lenders under its DIP Credit Agreement to extend the covenant requirement to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement with the bankruptcy court from February 15, 2013 to April 30, 2013. The Company also sought consent for an additional amendment to permit the incurrence of the Junior DIP Facility and to (i) extend the maturity date of the DIP Credit Agreement facility from July 20, 2013 to September 30, 2013, to match the maturity of the Junior DIP Facility, (ii) eliminate the Canadian revolving facility, which is not being used by Kodak, and reduce the aggregate amount of the U.S. revolving credit commitments from $225 million to $200 million, (iii) remove machinery and equipment from the borrowing base of the revolving facility and (iv) revise the existing financial covenants and modify other covenants to match the terms proposed for the Junior DIP Facility. This additional amendment did not become effective because a condition to effectiveness was closing the Junior DIP Facility on or before February 28, 2013. The Company has engaged the DIP Credit Agreement agent to solicit the ABL DIP Credit Agreement lenders to re-consent for this amendment with a new expiration date of April 5, 2013.
Cash and cash equivalents are held in various locations throughout the world. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $324 million and $170 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $811 million and $691 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. During 2012, approximately $121 million of cash was repatriated, or loaned, from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S., net of loans and repayments of loans to foreign subsidiaries. Total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $1,135 million and $861 million, respectively. Kodak utilizes a variety of tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that cash is available in locations where it is needed. Cash balances held outside of the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations, may have high tax costs, or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Additionally, in China, where approximately $235 million of cash and cash equivalents were held as of December 31, 2012, there are limitations related to net asset balances that impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Debtors are permitted to invest up to $100 million at any time in subsidiaries that are not party to the loan agreement.
Kodak incurred $99 million, $29 million and $28 million of expenses for special termination benefits paid out of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The plan provision providing for the special termination benefits expired at the end of 2012.
Kodaks business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay the principal of, or interest on Kodaks indebtedness, or to fund Kodaks other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, restructuring actions, costs related to the cases and other general corporate requirements. If Kodak cannot fund its liquidity needs, it will have to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, and investments and alliances; selling additional assets; restructuring or refinancing its debt; or seeking additional equity capital. These actions may be restricted as a result of the Debtors chapter 11 proceedings, the DIP Credit Agreement, and, if completed, the Junior DIP Facility. Such actions could increase Kodaks debt, negatively impact customer confidence in Kodaks ability to provide products and services, reduce Kodaks ability to raise additional capital, delay sustained profitability, and adversely affect the Debtors ability to emerge from bankruptcy. There can be no assurance that any of these remedies could, if necessary, be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that they would permit Kodak to meet its scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, if Kodak incurs additional debt, the risks associated with its substantial leverage, including the risk that it will be unable to service Kodaks debt or generate enough cash flow to fund its liquidity needs, could intensify.
Further, the consummation of the Junior DIP Facility financing and borrowing of loans thereunder is subject to a number of conditions and there is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived. These conditions include, among others, an amendment of the DIP Credit Agreement becoming effective, the absence of any material adverse effect since September 30, 2012 and the occurrence of the closing of the Junior DIP Facility no later than April 5, 2013. If Kodak fails to satisfy any of these conditions, including any conditions to the amendment of the DIP Credit Agreement becoming effective, the financing under the Junior DIP Facility will not be made available to the Company, which may adversely affect Kodaks liquidity and, consequently, its businesses, operating results, financial condition and the Debtors ability to emerge from bankruptcy. In addition, a portion of the loans under the Junior DIP Facility will convert into loans under the related exit facility. If the Company consummates the Junior DIP Facility but fails to meet the conditions precedent to conversion, the Company will be required to repay in cash the Junior DIP Facility together with accrued and unpaid interest, which may adversely impact the Debtors ability to emerge from bankruptcy.
Liens on assets under Kodaks borrowing arrangements are not expected to affect Kodaks ability to divest of non-core assets.
Refer to Note 11, Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of long-term debt, related maturities and interest rates as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

* | Pre-petition obligations are being administered by the Bankruptcy Court. A portion of the contractual obligations relate to non-U.S. entities and, therefore, are not subject to the bankruptcy proceedings. |
(1) | Long-term debt represents the maturity values of Kodaks long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2012, excluding debt classified as subject to compromise. Interest payments on debt represent payments related to debt that is not subject to the bankruptcy proceeding. Interest payments to Second Lien Note holders that would be required as a result of entering into the Junior DIP Facility are not reflected in the table above. Refer to Note 11, Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt, in the Notes to Financial Statements. |
(2) | Purchase obligations include agreements related to raw materials, supplies, production and administrative services, as well as marketing and advertising, that are enforceable and legally binding on Kodak and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. The terms of these agreements cover the next one to five years. |
(3) | Due to uncertainty regarding the completion of tax audits and possible outcomes, the remaining estimate of the timing of payments related to uncertain tax positions and interest cannot be made. See Note 18, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information regarding Kodaks uncertain tax positions. |
(4) | Kodak Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Subsidiary), has agreed with the Trustee of the KPP to make certain contributions to the Plan. Under the terms of this agreement, the Subsidiary is obligated to pay a minimum amount of $50 million to the KPP in each of the years 2011 through 2014, and a minimum amount of $90 million to the KPP in each of the years 2015 through 2022. Future funding beyond 2022 would be required if the KPP is still not fully funded as determined by the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022. The payment amounts for the years 2015 through 2022 could be lower, and the payment amounts for all years noted could be higher by up to $5 million per year, based on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and British pound. These minimum amounts do not include potential contributions related to tax benefits received by the Subsidiary. |
The underfunded position of the KPP of approximately $1.5 billion (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is included in Pension and other postretirement liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2012. The underfunded obligation relates to a non-debtor entity. The Trustee has asserted an unsecured claim to the Debtors of approximately $2.8 billion under the guarantee. The Subsidiary has also asserted an unsecured claim to the Debtors under the guarantee for an unliquidated amount. The ultimate treatment of the Trustees and Subsidiarys claims is not determinable at this time. Refer to Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements discussion below and Note 1, Bankruptcy Proceedings, in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional details. |
EKC has proposed that the Subsidiarys 2012 and future contributions be considered part of the overall resolution of the claims of the Trustee and Subsidiary. |
(5) | In addition to the pension contributions related to the KPP noted in (4) above, funding requirements for Kodaks other major defined benefit retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans have not been determined, therefore, they have not been included. |
(6) | Because their future cash outflows are uncertain, the other long-term liabilities presented in Note 12, Other Long-Term Liabilities, in the Notes to Financial Statements are excluded from this table. |
45
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Kodak guarantees debt and other obligations of certain customers. The debt and other obligations are primarily due to banks and leasing companies in connection with financing of customers purchases of equipment and product from Kodak. At December 31, 2012, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that Kodak could be required to make under these customer-related guarantees was $19 million and the carrying amount of the liability related to these customer guarantees was not material.
The customer financing agreements and related guarantees, which mature between 2013 and 2016, typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements. These guarantees would require payment from Kodak only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor. In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, Kodak has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantees. However, any proceeds received from the liquidation of these assets may not cover the maximum potential loss under these guarantees.
EKC also guarantees potential indebtedness to banks and other third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $100 million, and the outstanding amount for those guarantees is $83 million. Of this outstanding amount, $38 million is recorded within Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt. The remaining $45 million of outstanding guarantees represent parent guarantees providing financial assurance to third parties that the Companys subsidiaries will fulfill their future performance or financial obligations under various contracts, which do not necessarily have corresponding liabilities reported in Kodaks financial statements. These guarantees expire in 2013 through 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Companys Amended Credit Agreement, obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement, as well as secured agreements in an amount not to exceed $75 million, are guaranteed by the Company and the Companys U.S. subsidiaries and included in the above amounts. As of December 31, 2012, these secured agreements totaled $20 million.
EKC has issued a guarantee to Kodak Limited (the Subsidiary) and the Trustee (the Trustee) of the Kodak Pension Plan (the KPP) in the United Kingdom. Under that arrangement, EKC guaranteed to the Subsidiary and the Trustees the ability of the Subsidiary, only to the extent it becomes necessary to do so, to (1) make contributions to the KPP to ensure sufficient assets exist to make plan benefit payments, and (2) make contributions to the KPP such that it will achieve full funded status by the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022. The guarantee expires (a) upon the conclusion of the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022 if the KPP achieves full funded status or on payment of the balance if the KPP is underfunded by no more than 60 million British pounds by that date, (b) earlier in the event that the KPP achieves full funded status for two consecutive funding valuation cycles which are typically performed at least every three years, or (c) June 30, 2024 on payment of the balance in the event that the KPP is underfunded by more than 60 million British pounds upon conclusion of the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022. The amount of potential future contributions is dependent on the funding status of the KPP as it fluctuates over the term of the guarantee. The funded status of the KPP may be materially impacted by future changes in key assumptions used in the valuation of the plan, particularly the discount rate and expected rate of return on plan assets. The funded status of the KPP (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is included in Pension and other postretirement liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The guarantee is the subject of the chapter 11 claims asserted by the Trustee of the KPP and the Subsidiary, and it is intended that the obligations under the guarantee, as well as future contributions to the KPP, will be considered as part of the overall resolution of these claims.
Kodak issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers, suppliers, service providers and business partners. Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Companys request in such capacities. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to Kodaks financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the fair value of the indemnifications that Kodak issued during the year ended December 31, 2012 was not material to Kodaks financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased $779 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the prior year. Cash received in 2011 related to non-recurring licensing agreements of $82 million was $515 million lower than cash received in 2010 related to non-recurring licensing agreements, net of applicable withholding taxes, of $597 million. Additionally, the increase in cash used in operating activities was attributable to a greater use of cash from working capital changes and use of cash for the settlement of other liabilities in the current year as compared with the prior year.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $87 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with 2010 due primarily to an increase in proceeds received from sales of assets and businesses and lower capital expenditures. Partially offsetting this was cash used for the acquisition of a business and to fund restricted cash and investments in trust ensuring payment of various obligations.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $320 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with 2010 due to an increase in net borrowings.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING DATA
A summary of operating data for 2012 and for the four years prior is shown on page 120.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, Kodak may enter into derivative contracts. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of Kodaks International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales. Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate Kodaks risk to fluctuating silver prices. Kodaks exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open foreign currency forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been 10% weaker at December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $21 million and increased $34 million, respectively. Such changes in fair value would be substantially offset by the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.
There were no open silver forward contracts as of December 31, 2012. Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open silver forward contracts using available forward prices, if available forward silver prices had been 10% lower at December 31, 2011, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $2 million. Such changes in fair value, if realized, would have been offset by lower costs of manufacturing silver-containing products.
Kodak is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities and, to a lesser extent, through investments in marketable securities. Kodak may utilize borrowings to fund its working capital and investment needs. The majority of short-
48
term and long-term borrowings are in fixed-rate instruments. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements.
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 187 basis points) lower at December 31, 2012, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have increased $1 million and $37 million, respectively. Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 301 basis points) lower at December 31, 2011, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have increased $3 million and $66 million, respectively.
Kodaks financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments. Kodak manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties. Kodak has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Eastman Kodak Company:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on January 19, 2012, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
