• GAAP net loss of $16 million, compared with net loss of $7 million for Q1 2025, an increase of $9 million
• Operational EBITDA of $15 million, compared with $2 million for Q1 2025, an increase of $13 million
• A quarter-end cash balance of $299 million, compared with $337 million on December 31, 2025, a decrease of $38 million
• Cash flow from operations improved $8 million from the prior-period

“In the first quarter, Kodak achieved year-over-year improvement in key metrics, including revenue, gross profit and Operational EBITDA,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “We have delivered three consecutive quarters of strong performance, despite a highly volatile and challenging business environment. Our success is no accident. It reflects several years of investing in innovation and infrastructure and focusing on operational excellence. Looking forward, we plan to build on our momentum by continuing to put our customers first, strengthen our balance sheet and invest in businesses that will drive future growth.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenues were $265 million, an increase of $18 million or 7 percent compared to the same period in 2025. Adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $7 million, revenues increased by $11 million, or 4 percent compared to the prior year.

GAAP net loss was $16 million for the quarter, compared to GAAP net loss of $7 million in 2025, an increase of $9 million. Operational EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $15 million, compared to $2 million in 2025, an increase of $13 million. The increase in Operational EBITDA was primarily driven by improved pricing, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and higher silver and aluminum prices.

Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $299 million, a decrease of $38 million from December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $38 million primarily driven by silver and aluminum commodities, the required March 13, 2026 principal repayment for the term loans of $50 million, partially offset by cash proceeds from redemption of Kodak Retirement Income Plan reversion investments of $46 million.

APPENDICES

In this first quarter 2026 financial results news release, reference is made to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

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

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

The change in revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis, as presented in this financial results news release, is calculated using average foreign exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). Operational EBITDA represents the consolidated loss from continuing operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and other postemployment benefits income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; interest expense; loss on early extinguishment of debt; other operating expense, net; and other charges, net.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure of Net Loss to Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively:
