NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company and all companies directly or indirectly controlled, either through majority ownership or otherwise (“Kodak” or the “Company”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES:
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Kodak had approximately $158 million and $201 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Of these amounts, $65 million and $118 million of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Kodak has not extended or refinanced the existing Series B and Series C Preferred Stock past their current mandatory redemption date of May 28, 2026. Kodak has debt coming due on May 22, 2026 and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current terms.
Kodak’s ability to adequately fund its existing preferred stock and debt obligations when they come due are dependent on obtaining sufficient proceeds from the expected reversion of cash to the Company upon settlement of obligations under the KRIP to reduce the amount of the Term Loans (as defined below) and to (i) convert, redeem, extend or refinance the existing Series B and Series C Preferred Stock past their current maturities of May 28, 2026, (ii) amend, extend or refinance the remaining outstanding Term Loans past the current maturity date of May 22, 2026, and (iii) replace collateral currently supporting the letters of credit issued under the L/C Facility Agreement (as defined below). These actions are dependent upon several external factors outside Kodak’s control. Kodak makes no assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or timing of consummating any refinancing transaction, or the sufficiency of any such actions to meet Kodak’s preferred stock or debt obligations.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
No accounting pronouncements were recently adopted by Kodak.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes in the rate reconciliation table and more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU requires entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance makes several other changes to the disclosure requirements. The ASU is required to be applied prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The ASU is effective for Kodak for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and the required disclosures will be included in Kodak's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. As the requirements of this ASU relate to disclosure only, the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses, including but not limited to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, in a tabular format within the notes to their financial statements, as well as provide additional disclosures related to certain other specified expenses. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (January 1, 2027 for Kodak) and
interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (January 1, 2028 for Kodak). The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
NOTE 2: CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that sums to the total of such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Restricted cash reported in Other current assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily represented amounts that support hedging activities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Restricted cash included $25 million and $29 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, representing the cash collateral required to be posted by the Company under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, defined below. In addition, restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $56 million and $55 million, respectively, representing cash collateral supporting the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board ("NYS WCB"). Restricted cash also included $6 million of security posted related to Brazilian legal contingencies as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTE 4: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Original Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (“KLIM”) as lenders (the “Original Term Loan Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Agent”). Pursuant to the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Original Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with (i) an initial term loan in the amount of $225 million, which was drawn in full on the same date, and (ii) a commitment to provide delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million on or before February 26, 2023 (collectively, the “Original Term Loans”). The delayed draw term loans were drawn in full on June 15, 2022. The maturity date of the Original Term Loans was February 26, 2026, and the Original Term Loans were non-amortizing.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by the Term Loan Amendment, the “Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with certain funds affiliated with KLIM as lenders (the “Term Loan Lenders”) and the Term Loan Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Amendment, the Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million (the “Term Loans”).
On July 21, 2023, the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement became effective and the Company completed its borrowing of the Term Loans. The Company received net proceeds of $435 million from the Term Loans which were used to (i) refinance the obligations under the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement, (ii) repay in full and terminate the commitments under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility made available pursuant to amendment No. 5 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, (iii) repay in full the Company’s outstanding 5.0% unsecured convertible promissory notes due May 28, 2026 (the "Convertible Notes") held by the Original Term Loan Lenders, (iv) pay certain fees and expenses related to the foregoing and the amended 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement”), (v) provide cash collateral in respect of the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, as described below, or other collateral obligations, and (vi) for general corporate purposes and working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries (a net amount of $29 million).
The Term Loan Amendment also amended and restated the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to the earlier of August 15, 2028 or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock ("Convertible Securities") or any extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Original Term Loan Credit Agreement and (iii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2021, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Term Loan Agent.
The Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable in cash (the “Cash Interest Payment”) and 5.0% per annum payable “in-kind” ("PIK") or in cash at the Company’s option, for an aggregate interest rate of 12.5% per annum. Obligations under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions) not constituting L/C Cash Collateral, as defined below (collectively, the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”), and a second priority lien on the L/C Cash Collateral.
The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement continues to limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement) to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments and (v) make investments. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, including delivery of certain of the Company’s financial statements, and customary event of default provisions, including a cross-default provision that would give rise to an event of default if there is a default under or acceleration of “Material Indebtedness” other than intercompany indebtedness. Material Indebtedness includes obligations having a principal amount of at least $20 million (increasing to $25 million if the Term Loans are paid down to $200 million, which is referred to as the “Deleveraging Milestone Date”). The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement does not include a financial maintenance covenant or any subjective acceleration clauses.
On February 26, 2025, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “February 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the Term Loan Lenders and the Term Loan Agent to modify the maturity date of the Term Loans to the earlier of August 15, 2028 or May 22, 2026, the date that is five days prior to the maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Convertible Securities or any extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing.
On May 7, 2025, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”, together the February 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment, the “2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendments”). The May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment provides the Company the option to pay the Cash Interest Payment entirely in PIK for the next six quarterly interest payments. In addition, the May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment revises the mandatory prepayment provisions under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement requiring Kodak to use 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain transactions to prepay Term Loans until the amount of the Term Loans is reduced to $200 million and, thereafter, to use 50% of the net cash proceeds to prepay Term Loans until the amount of the Term Loans is reduced to $100 million, in each case plus a 1% prepayment fee.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “L/C Facility Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “L/C Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as issuing bank. Pursuant to the L/C Facility Agreement, the L/C Lenders committed to issue letters of credit on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, provided that the
Company posts cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “L/C Cash Collateral”).
On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the L/C Facility Agreement (the “2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement”) to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the L/C Facility Agreement from February 26, 2024 to the earliest of June 12, 2024, the termination of the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, or the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Term Loans, Convertible Notes, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancing of any of the foregoing and (ii) require the Company to maintain daily Minimum Liquidity of $50 million, subject to certain cure rights, and to maintaining a quarterly Minimum Liquidity of $80 million. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement.
The 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement required the Company to maintain Excess Availability above the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million. If Excess Availability fell below the greater of 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event would have occurred under the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement. During any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would have been required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0. Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments or $11.25 million throughout the term of the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement, Kodak was not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0.
On June 30, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an amendment (the “June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment”) to the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement (as amended and restated by the June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment, the “Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as L/C Lender, L/C Agent and Issuing Bank. The June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment became effective on July 21, 2023.
Under the terms and conditions of the June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment, the L/C Lender increased the commitment to issue letters of credit on the Company’s behalf from an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, to an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “L/C Facility Commitments”), until August 30, 2023; provided that, at all times, the Company posted cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 104% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “L/C Cash Collateral”).
Upon the termination of the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement on July 21, 2023, the letters of credit totaling $58 million issued under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement were transferred to the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement. The Company used $59 million of the net proceeds from the Term Loans to cash collateralize the letters of credit transferred to the L/C Facility. In August 2023, the Company used $68 million of the funds in the L/C Cash Collateral account to cash collateralize the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations directly with the NYS WCB, reducing the issued letters of credit to $31 million, and elected to reduce the L/C Facility Commitments to $50 million effective August 15, 2023.
The June 2023 L/C Facility Amendment also amended and restated the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement to, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date to the earliest of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date (as defined therein), (y) the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms thereof (or the maturity date of any refinancing thereof), or (z) the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Convertible Securities or any refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) eliminated the existing cash maintenance requirements, and (iii) made certain other changes to the terms of the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement.
Approximately $24 million and $27 million letters of credit were issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The balance on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral account as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately $25 million and $29 million, respectively.
The Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and are secured by (i) a first priority lien on the L/C Cash Collateral and (ii) a second priority lien on certain Term Loan Priority Collateral of the Company and U.S. subsidiary guarantors.
The Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants similar to the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement does not include a minimum liquidity or financial maintenance covenant.
The Company will pay an unused line fee of 37.5-50 basis points per annum, depending on whether the unused portion of the maximum commitments is less than or equal to 50% or greater than 50% of such commitments, respectively. The Company will pay a letter of credit fee of 3.75% per annum on issued and outstanding letters of credit, in addition to a fronting fee of 25 basis points on such letters of credit. Amounts drawn under any letter of credit will be reimbursed from the L/C Cash Collateral. If not so reimbursed, and not otherwise repaid by the Company to the L/C Lender, such amounts will accrue interest, to be paid monthly, at a floating Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement) plus 2.75% per annum until repaid.
On February 26, 2025, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement (the “2025 L/C Facility Agreement Amendment”) with the L/C Lenders and Bank of America, N.A. to modify the maturity date of the facility to the earliest of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Restatement Date, (y) May 12, 2026, the date that is 10 days prior to the maturity of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, as such date may be extended pursuant to the terms thereof, or (z) May 13, 2026, the date that is 15 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s then-outstanding Convertible Securities. Upon a Permitted Refinancing (as defined therein) of any of the foregoing, the springing maturity date will be 30 days prior to the maturity date or redemption date of the refinancing.
NOTE 5: REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Redeemable convertible preferred stock was as follows:
Series B preferred stock
98
Series C preferred stock
122
Series B Preferred Stock
On February 26, 2021 the Company agreed to exchange one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which were investment funds managed by Southeastern at the time (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”), for shares of the Company’s newly created 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.
Dividend and Other Rights
The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. Dividends owed on the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid when due. If dividends on any Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive dividend periods, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to nominate one director at the next annual shareholder meeting and all subsequent shareholder meetings until all accumulated dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside.
Conversion Features
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 9.5238 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.
The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price) for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series B Preferred Stock and separately accounted for as a derivative. The Company allocated $1 million of the net proceeds received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the dates of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative value at issuance was calculated as the difference between the total value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemed on its redemption date and the values of other embedded derivatives. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change, the value of the conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time. The derivative amortization is reported in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock embedded derivative as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was a liability of less than $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.
Series C Preferred Stock
On February 26, 2021, the Company and GO EK Ventures IV, LLC (the “Investor”) entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly created 5.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $100 per share, representing $100 million of gross proceeds to the Company. The Investor is a fund managed by Grand Oaks Capital. The Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon; provided that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have the right to extend such redemption date by up to two years.
The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly “in‐kind” in the form of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 5.0% per annum. Dividends owed on the Series C Preferred Stock have been declared and additional Series C shares issued when due. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in any dividends paid on the Common Stock (other than stock
dividends) on an as-converted basis, with such dividends on any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock being payable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $10 per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price and the corresponding conversion rate are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments and to proportional increase in the event the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock is automatically increased. If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares of Common Stock. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends and a payment based on the present value of all required remaining dividend payments through May 28, 2026, the mandatory redemption date. Such additional payments will be payable at the Company’s option in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.
The Company has the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (i) at any time after February 26, 2023 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days, or (ii) at any time after February 26, 2024 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 150% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.
The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series C Preferred Stock and separately accounted for as a derivative. The Company allocated $2 million of the net proceeds received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the dates of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock.
The conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative value at issuance was calculated as the difference between the total value of the Series C Preferred Stock and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed on its redemption date and the values of other embedded derivatives. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change, the value of the conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time. The derivative amortization is reported in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock embedded derivative as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was a liability of less than $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.

NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $24 million issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $2 million, surety bonds in the amount of $47 million, and restricted cash of $98 million, primarily related to cash collateral supporting the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations with the NYS WCB, cash collateral to ensure payment of possible casualty and workers’ compensation claims, cash collateral supporting the outstanding letters of credit under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, to ensure payment of possible legal contingencies, hedging activities, environmental liabilities, rental payments and to support various customs, tax and trade activities. The restricted cash is recorded in Current assets and Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters in Brazil and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes in various stages of litigation, as well as civil litigation and disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise the majority of the litigation matters, are primarily related to federal and state value-added taxes and income taxes. Kodak’s Brazilian operations are disputing these matters and intend to vigorously defend its position. Kodak routinely assesses all these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability in its Brazilian operations and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable. As of March 31, 2025, Kodak’s Brazilian operations maintained accruals of approximately $5 million for claims aggregating approximately $85 million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate. The unreserved portion of the indirect taxes, civil litigation and disputes involving former employees and contract labor claims, inclusive of any related interest and penalties, for which there was at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, amounted to approximately $5 million.
In connection with assessments in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak’s Brazilian operations to post security for a portion of the amounts in dispute. As of March 31, 2025, Kodak’s Brazilian operations have posted security composed of $6 million of pledged cash reported within Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and liens on certain Brazilian assets with a net book value of approximately $38 million. Generally, any encumbrances on the Brazilian assets would be removed to the extent the matter is resolved in favor of Kodak’s Brazilian operations. The matter securing the lien on the non-cash assets was resolved in favor of Kodak’s Brazilian operations on March 12, 2024 and those operations are in the process of having the lien on those assets removed.
In addition, Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediations and proceedings, including, from time to time, commercial, customs, employment, environmental, tort and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Kodak is also subject, from time to time, to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of Kodak’s products such as the on-going patent infringement claims brought by FUJIFILM Corporation against Eastman Kodak Company (in the US) and its German subsidiaries (in Germany) alleging that certain of Kodak’s SONORA process free plates infringe four of its patents in each jurisdiction. These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation and are being vigorously defended. Based on information currently available, Kodak does not believe that it is probable that the outcomes in these various matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. Kodak routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the
probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
NOTE 8: GUARANTEES
In accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement concerning certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park, a more than 1,200-acre technology center and industrial complex in Rochester, New York, in the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, the Company will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million with no limitation to the maximum potential future payments. There is no liability recorded for this guarantee.
Extended Warranty Arrangements
Kodak offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year but may range from three months to six years after the original warranty period. The change in Kodak’s deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:
Deferred revenue on extended warranties as of December 31, 2024
New extended warranty and maintenance arrangements deferred
Recognition of extended warranty and maintenance arrangement revenue
Deferred revenue on extended warranties as of March 31, 2025

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed trade receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. The amount recorded for contract assets at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $5 million and is reported in Other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract liabilities primarily relate to brand licensing agreements, prepaid service contracts or upfront payments for certain equipment purchases. The amount recorded for contract liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $91 million and $92 million, respectively, of which $35 million for both periods, was reported in Other current liabilities and $56 million and $57 million, respectively, was reported in Other long-term liabilities.
Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the respective fiscal years was $19 million and $21 million, respectively, and primarily represented revenue from prepaid service contracts and equipment sales. Contract liabilities included $18 million of cash payments received during both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Kodak does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which Kodak has the right to invoice for services performed.
Performance obligations with an original expected length of greater than one year generally consist of deferred service contracts, operating leases and licensing arrangements. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $91 million of unrecognized revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations. Approximately 15% of the revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2025, 15% in 2026, 10% in each of 2027 and 2028 and 50% thereafter.

Difference between tax at effective vs. statutory rate
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% was primarily attributable to: (1) the movement of valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current losses and earnings and (2) a provision associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% was primarily attributable to: (1) the movement of valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current earnings and losses, and (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many participating countries enacted changes which took effect in 2024. After considering the applicable tax law changes in the Pillar 2 implementation, Kodak determined there was no material impact to its tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

(37
(1) The special termination benefits were incurred as a result of Kodak’s restructuring actions and have been included in
Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for that period.
On January 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Kodak approved the termination of the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP”), effective March 31, 2025, and no further benefits were accrued under KRIP following this date. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Kodak Cash Balance Plan”) as a replacement for KRIP which became effective on March 1, 2025 for new hires and on April 1, 2025 for current employees. The benefits under the Kodak Cash Balance Plan are substantially the same as those under the cash balance feature of KRIP. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Kodak concluded that it was probable that the criteria for settlement accounting for KRIP would be met in 2025 as the projected cost of all settlements would exceed the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the year. Accordingly, KRIP was remeasured as of March 31, 2025, and Kodak applied settlement accounting effective in the first quarter of 2025.
As a result of this remeasurement, an actuarial loss of $90 million related to the KRIP’s projected benefit obligation ("PBO") was recognized. The actuarial loss was due in part to an increase in discount rates, partially offset by a reduction in the 30-year Treasury rate (total net impact of $22 million). The discount rate assumption used in the March 31, 2025 remeasurement was 5.26% compared to 5.45% used at December 31, 2024, and the 30-year Treasury rate used in the March 31, 2025 remeasurement was 4.59% compared to 4.75% used at December 31, 2024. The remaining actuarial loss of $68 million was due to assumption changes related to measuring the plan on a termination basis, including assumed premiums for purchasing annuities to settle obligations and the timing of lump sum payments. The expected rate of return on plan assets assumption used in the March 31, 2025 remeasurement was unchanged from the rate used at December 31, 2024 (5.20%). An asset actuarial gain of $22 million was recognized as a result of the remeasurement, as actual asset returns were higher than expected returns. The impacts from settlement accounting during the first quarter of 2025 were immaterial.
NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share calculations include any dilutive effect of potential common shares. In periods with a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted earnings per share are calculated using weighted-average basic shares for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 follows:
Less: Series B Preferred stock cash dividends
Less: Series C Preferred stock in-kind dividends
Less: Preferred stock deemed dividends
Less: Earnings attributable to Series C Preferred shareholders

As a result of the net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak had reported earnings available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed vesting of 1.8 million unvested restricted stock units and the assumed exercise of 1.6 million stock options.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (2) the assumed conversion of 1.2 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (3) the assumed exercise of 1.7 million outstanding employee stock options because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.2 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (2) the assumed exercise of 3.9 million outstanding employee stock options and (3) the assumed vesting of 0.1 million unvested restricted stock units because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 15: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company has 560 million shares of authorized stock, consisting of: (i) 500 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 60 million shares of preferred stock, no par value, issuable in one or more series.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 80.8 million and 80.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.
Preferred Stock
Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of 1.0 million shares.
Series C Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of 1.2 million shares.

NOTE 17: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Kodak has three reportable segments: Print, Advanced Materials and Chemicals and Brand. Kodak’s reportable segments are based on a combination of factors that the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to evaluate and manage the business operations, including but not limited to, Kodak’s organizational structure, customer base, markets, products and services and related technologies. Kodak does not aggregate operating segments. A description of Kodak’s reportable segments follows.
Print: The Print segment is comprised of four lines of business: the Prepress Solutions business, the PROSPER business, the Software business and the Electrophotographic Printing Solutions business.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals: The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment is comprised of four lines of business: the Industrial Film and Chemicals business, the Motion Picture business, the Advanced Materials and Functional Printing business and the IP Licensing and Analytical Services business.
Brand: The Brand segment contains the brand licensing business.
The balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other revenues and All Other Operational EBITDA, and primarily represent the operations of the Eastman Business Park.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There are no intersegment sales between the segments.
Kodak’s CODM is the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). Operational EBITDA represents the (loss) earnings from operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; other operating income, net and other income, net.
The CODM uses Operational EBITDA in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources for each segment predominantly through the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM evaluates Operational EBITDA budget-to-actual variances, changes in Operational EBITDA from prior periods and when comparing the results of each segment with one another.
Segment financial information is shown below. Asset information by reportable segment is not disclosed below as this information is not regularly provided to or used by the CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources.

Kodak increased employee benefit reserves by approximately $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in workers' compensation reserves driven by changes in discount rates. The increase in reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2025 impacted gross profit by approximately $1 million.
Kodak decreased employee benefit reserves by approximately $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a decrease in workers' compensation reserves driven by changes in discount rates. The decrease in reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2024 impacted gross profit by approximately $1 million.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany assets.
Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through net (loss) earnings at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net (loss) earnings (both in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations). The notional amount of such contracts open at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately $216 million and $251 million, respectively. The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are denominated in Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen and euros.
The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:
Net (gain) loss from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
In the event of a default under any of the Company’s credit agreements, or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.
Fair Value
Fair values of Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements) and are based on the present value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration of the contracts. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Other current assets and the gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position are reported in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The gross fair value of forward contracts in an asset position as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $0 million. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $0 million and $3 million, respectively.
The fair values of long-term debt (Level 2 fair value measurements) are determined by reference to quoted market prices of similar instruments, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates. The fair values of long-term borrowings were $414 million and $436 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and the current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials and chemicals. With 79,000 patents earned over 130 years of research and development ("R&D"), Kodak believes in the power of technology and science to enhance what the world sees and creates. Kodak’s innovative, award-winning products, combined with its customer-first approach, make Kodak the partner of choice for commercial printers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.
Consolidated revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $247 million, a decrease of $2 million (1%) when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on revenues ($3 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Print revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $165 million, a decrease of $17 million (9%) compared to the prior year quarter. Print revenues accounted for 67% of Kodak’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $74 million, an increase of $15 million (25%) compared to the prior year quarter.
Economic Environment and Other Global Events:
Kodak's products are sold and serviced in numerous countries across the globe with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. Current global economic conditions remain highly volatile due to the uncertain and unpredictable macroeconomic environment, heightened levels of inflation, the war in Ukraine, the conflicts involving Israel, changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, and other global events which impacted Kodak’s operations. Kodak is experiencing revenue declines and increased manufacturing costs for certain businesses due to lower volumes and increases in labor, material and distribution costs, as well as supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor.
The U.S. government recently announced tariffs on goods imported from most countries to the U.S., including significant tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, as well as separate tariffs on imported aluminum and steel, leading to increasing trade and political tensions. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including through increased supply chain costs. There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Kodak is actively monitoring the tariff developments and analyzing the potential impacts on its businesses, cost structure and supply chain as well as the ability to potentially avoid or offset a portion of cost increases through pricing actions and other cost savings measures. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation, amount and scope.
Kodak has implemented various pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives to mitigate the impact of increased manufacturing costs, primarily within its Print and Advanced Materials and Chemicals segments. Largely beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2021, in order to mitigate the impact of higher aluminum, energy and packaging costs within Prepress Solutions, the Print segment implemented pricing actions on purchases of plates that continue to be periodically reviewed and adjusted accordingly. In addition, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment implemented various pricing actions primarily within its Industrial Films and Chemicals and Motion Picture businesses.
The Print segment is experiencing a slowdown in customer demand for plates that negatively impacted volume due to current global economic conditions and the impact of pricing actions. In addition to the pricing actions and customer initiatives described above, Kodak has implemented supply chain and workforce optimization, productivity improvements and other cost savings activities. The combined actions have largely mitigated the impact of lower volumes and increased manufacturing costs. However, the potential worsening of economic conditions, continued decreases in volume and increases in manufacturing and other costs without further price increases, productivity improvements or other cost saving measures, could unfavorably impact this segment's operating results.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has also experienced labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. Increased demand for consumer film products along with manufacturing equipment limitations and labor shortages have contributed to increased backorders. During 2024, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment reduced the amount of backorders compared to levels seen in prior years. This was driven by increased headcount and capital investments in equipment upgrades and new equipment that increased capacity and streamlined processes. Increased demand for film products may continue to place stress on manufacturing equipment and the labor force without further investment or additional hiring in specific areas.
Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the challenges associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials, including increasing safety stock on certain materials, increasing lead-times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of future demand and certifying additional sources or substitute materials where possible. These measures have enabled Kodak to largely meet current demand.
Following the cessation of U.S. plate manufacturing operations by Kodak’s key competitors, Kodak has faced increasing competition in the U.S. from low-priced plates imported from China and Japan. On September 28, 2023, Kodak filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce Department") and the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") requesting relief from unfairly traded imports of plates from China and Japan in the form of the imposition of anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties on such imported plates. After making an affirmative preliminary determination on November 15, 2023, on October 22, 2024, the ITC made a final determination that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates from China and Japan that the Commerce Department has determined are sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China. The Commerce Department conducted investigations to determine dumping and subsidy margins against imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan. The Commerce Department announced preliminary findings in its countervailing duty investigation on imports of plates manufactured in China on February 27, 2024 and announced preliminary findings in its anti-dumping duty investigations on imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan on April 26, 2024, which were amended with respect to plates from China on May 28, 2024. The Commerce Department announced final findings in its anti-dumping duty investigations on imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan and its countervailing duty investigation on imports of plates manufactured in China on September 23, 2024. As a result of the determinations by the ITC and Commerce Department, duties are now being imposed on U.S. imports of plates as follows: (i) anti-dumping duties of 115.84% on such plates manufactured in China by Fuji and 317.43% on such plates manufactured in China by other entities (in each case, imposed on plates imported on or after May 1, 2024), (ii) countervailing duties of 35.66% on practically all such plates manufactured in China (imposed on plates imported on or after March 1, 2024), and (iii) anti-dumping duties of 91.83% on practically all such plates manufactured in Japan (imposed on plates imported on or after May 1, 2024). There can be no assurance that the duties imposed on imported plates will provide Kodak effective relief and will not be reduced or impaired by any appeal or other challenge.
Kodak is monitoring the events surrounding the conflicts involving Israel and the impact on the operations of its Israel subsidiary. A leased warehouse in Israel was destroyed in 2023; however, none of Kodak’s employees were injured. While the potential impact of future developments related to this conflict is difficult to predict at this time, Kodak has been able to adapt its operations to avoid material disruption to its business. The direct operations of Kodak’s Israel subsidiary were less than 1% of total consolidated revenue and assets in 2025.
Kodak also continues to monitor the events surrounding the war in Ukraine and the various sanctions imposed in response to the war. Kodak believes it is in compliance with all sanctions. Kodak has experienced worldwide supply constraints for aluminum and increased energy and transportation costs due in part to the war in Ukraine. The extent to which the war in Ukraine will continue to impact the global economy and Kodak's business and operations remains uncertain.
28
The war in Ukraine and the international response have disrupted Kodak’s ability to operate its Russian subsidiary in the ordinary course, affecting its ability to pay vendors and employees, receive amounts owed from customers in Russia and deliver product. Kodak is in the process of an orderly winding down of its Russian subsidiary and has ceased its direct Russian operations. The direct operations of Kodak’s Russian subsidiary did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements (less than 1% of total consolidated revenues and assets for 2024, 2023 and 2022), and there were no material impacts to the consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 from the wind-down activities.
The ongoing changes in global economic conditions and the impact of other global events on Kodak’s operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on several factors such as the slowdown in customer demand, the ability to offset higher labor, material and distribution costs through pricing actions, duration of supply chain disruptions and the ability to secure raw materials and components.

(2) As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
PRINT SEGMENT
Operational EBITDA as a % of revenues
The decrease in Print revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of approximately $17 million reflected reduced volumes in Prepress Solutions ($10 million), lower volumes in Electrophotographic Printing Solutions ("EPS") ($4 million), declines in Software volume ($2 million), reduced volumes in Prosper ($1 million) and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations ($3 million). These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by favorable pricing and product mix in Prosper and Prepress Solutions ($2 million and $1 million, respectively).
Print Operational EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 declined $9 million primarily related to higher costs for aluminum ($6 million), higher manufacturing costs ($3 million), reduced volumes for Prepress Solutions ($2 million), declines in Software volume ($1 million), reduced volumes in Prosper ($1 million) and net change in employee benefit reserves ($1 million), partially offset by higher margins in EPS ($2 million) and favorable pricing and product mix in Prosper and Prepress Solutions ($2 million and $1 million, respectively).
ADVANCED MATERIALS AND CHEMICALS SEGMENT
Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 improved $15 million primarily from price and product mix improvements and volume increases in Industrial Film and Chemicals (each $6 million) along with improvements in price and product mix and volume ($2 million and $1 million, respectively) in Motion Picture.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals Operational EBITDA improved $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to price and product mix improvements in Industrial Film and Chemicals and Motion Picture ($6 million and $1 million, respectively) and volume increases in Industrial Film and Chemicals ($2 million), partially offset by higher manufacturing costs ($2 million).
BRAND SEGMENT
100
There were no material changes in Brand revenues or Operational EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
Kodak recorded charges of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The restructuring actions implemented in the first three months of 2025 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $8 million, which are expected to reduce future annual SG&A expenses, Cost of revenues and R&D costs by $1 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively. The majority of the annual savings are expected to be in effect by the end of the second quarter of 2025 as such actions are completed.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management’s Assessment of Liquidity
Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $158 million, a decrease of $43 million from December 31, 2024.
The financing transactions entered into during 2023, cash proceeds related to brand licensing arrangements in 2024 and 2023 and savings relating to rationalization, cost reductions and operational efficiencies provided additional liquidity to the Company to fund on‐going operations and to invest in growth opportunities in Kodak’s businesses of print and advanced materials and chemicals and for corporate infrastructure investments expected to contribute to improvements in cash flow.
Available liquidity includes existing cash balances. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 approximately $65 million and $118 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $93 million and $83 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and 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. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of inter-company loans.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $471 million and $483 million, respectively, which included short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $198 million and $208 million, respectively. In China, where approximately $39 million and $29 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $60 million (or $75 million after the Deleveraging Milestone Date) in Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and in joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are not party to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary has an intercompany loan from one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries with a maturity date of November 16, 2026, the proceeds of which were in turn loaned to the Company. The terms of the intercompany loan require the Company to make efforts to repay the outstanding loan balance prior to maturity. The outstanding amount of the intercompany loan as of March 31, 2025 was $68 million. The Company is evaluating repayment alternatives for the current loan agreement which would allow Kodak and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations to each other while minimizing the impact on U.S. liquidity taking into account requirements imposed by Chinese regulators. Any amounts repaid to the Chinese subsidiary may not be able to be loaned, repatriated or otherwise moved back to the U.S., in which case the Company’s U.S. liquidity would be reduced.
Kodak's cash flows continue to be negatively impacted by volume declines, higher manufacturing costs and increased labor, material and distribution costs, supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor. The impacts from price increases, continued cost reduction actions and supply chain-related cost improvements continue to positively impact Kodak’s operations.
On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “February 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”) and an amendment to the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement (the “2025 L/C Facility Agreement Amendment”) to modify the maturity date under each agreement. To the extent the Series B or Series C Preferred Stock maturity date is not extended, and the shares remain outstanding, then the maturity date of the Term Loans will be accelerated from August 15, 2028 to May 22, 2026. In addition, the maturity date under the 2025 Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement would be accelerated to May 12, 2026.
On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”, together the February 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment, the “2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendments”). The May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment provides the Company the option to pay the cash interest payment entirely in PIK for the next six quarterly interest payments and revises the mandatory prepayment provisions under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement relating to certain transactions (see further discussion below under Kodak Retirement Income Plan section).
Kodak's plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include generating profitable revenues through continued pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives, implementing effective working capital utilization, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the organizational structure, investing in IT systems to drive operational efficiencies, effectively managing world-wide cash through intercompany loans, distributions or other mechanisms, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets or through new licensing opportunities and implementing ways to reduce cash collateral needs. In addition, proceeds received from the settlement of the KRIP, after required debt prepayments, as further discussed below, would be available for use for strategic growth or general corporate purposes.
The economic uncertainties surrounding the current inflationary environment and other global events represent additional elements of complexity in Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow. The Company cannot predict the duration and scope of such events, including the impact of rising costs of labor, commodity and distribution costs and increased product costs from tariffs, the war in Ukraine and the conflicts involving Israel, and other factors such as the ability to continue to secure raw materials and components, the ability to increase prices to offset rising product costs or how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
In order to provide flexibility to respond as necessary to changes in the business and economic environment and to maintain sufficient U.S. liquidity, Kodak may accelerate the restructuring of Kodak’s cost structure, reduce or slow spend on capital expenditures and other investments, increase prices and implement working capital improvement initiatives.
Kodak believes its liquidity position is adequate to fund its operating and investing needs within the next twelve months from the date of this filing.
Kodak has not extended or refinanced the existing Series B and Series C Preferred Stock past their current maturities of May 28, 2026. Kodak has debt coming due on May 22, 2026 and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current terms.
Kodak’s ability to adequately fund its existing preferred stock and debt obligations when they come due are dependent on obtaining sufficient proceeds from the expected reversion of cash to the Company upon settlement of obligations under the KRIP to reduce the amount of the Term Loans and to (i) convert, redeem, extend or refinance the existing Series B and Series C Preferred Stock past their current maturities of May 28, 2026, (ii) amend, extend or refinance the remaining outstanding Term Loans past the current maturity of May 22, 2026, and (iii) replace collateral currently supporting the letters of credit issued under the L/C Facility Agreement. These actions are dependent upon several external factors outside Kodak’s control. Kodak makes no assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or timing of consummating any refinancing transaction, or the sufficiency of any such actions to meet Kodak’s preferred stock or debt obligations, including other commitments in the U.S. as they come due.
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
On January 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Kodak approved the termination of KRIP effective March 31, 2025, at which time all benefits under KRIP were frozen. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Kodak Cash Balance Plan”) as a replacement for KRIP which became effective on March 1, 2025 for new hires and April 1, 2025 for current employees. The benefits under the Kodak Cash Balance Plan are substantially the same as those under the cash balance feature of KRIP. Kodak expects that KRIP’s liabilities would be satisfied through a combination of lump sum distributions to active and terminated vested participants who elect a lump sum distribution and the purchase of an annuity from an insurance company with respect to existing KRIP annuity obligations for current retirees and beneficiaries and annuity obligations arising from the termination to active and terminated vested participants who do not elect to receive lump sum distributions. The cost to satisfy KRIP’s liabilities will be affected by a variety of factors including interest rate fluctuations, the portion of active and terminated vested participants who elect lump-sum distributions, the premium payable to purchase the annuity, and other actuarial factors used to calculate the value of KRIP’s ongoing annuity obligations. While KRIP has hedging arrangements in place designed to hedge interest rates for practically all of KRIP’s liabilities, a significant portion of those arrangements are linked to fluctuations in US treasury rates and would not hedge against changes to the difference between the discount rates used to value KRIP’s liabilities and US treasury rates (i.e., the credit spread) or non-interest rate factors that may influence the amount of KRIP’s liabilities.
After KRIP’s liabilities and applicable legal requirements have been satisfied, KRIP’s surplus assets would revert to Kodak as the settlor of KRIP subject to an excise tax. Based on current assumptions, Kodak estimates KRIP would have surplus assets of between $750 million and $900 million after the satisfaction of KRIP’s liabilities. The actual amount of surplus assets available after the satisfaction of KRIP’s liabilities will be affected by the actual amount paid to satisfy KRIP’s liabilities, the return on KRIP’s assets during the period over which KRIP’s assets are liquidated and its liabilities satisfied (the “Liquidation Period”), the degree to which KRIP’s hedging strategy is effective in hedging fluctuations in the amount of KRIP’s liabilities during the Liquidation Period, the amounts realized from Hedge Fund Assets in the course of their redemption during the Liquidation Period, the amounts realized from distributions from or any sale of remaining KRIP Illiquid Assets during the Liquidation Period, the value of Hedge Fund Assets or KRIP Illiquid Assets held in the portfolio at the time of reversion, actuarial experience on plan liabilities during the Liquidation Period, the duration of the Liquidation Period, and the costs associated with the termination and liquidation process.
In order to reduce the amount of the surplus assets subject to excise tax and to reduce the rate of the excise tax from 50% to 20%, Kodak expects that it would direct the transfer of or otherwise contribute 25% of the surplus assets (which may include all or a significant portion of remaining non-cash assets) to the Kodak Cash Balance Plan (the “Replacement Plan”). After the capitalization of the Replacement Plan and the payment of the 20% excise tax on the remaining surplus, Kodak projects it would receive proceeds from KRIP having a value of between $450 million and $540 million. Kodak believes no material amount of income tax would be owed on this amount due to available tax attributes. In addition to the proceeds received by Kodak from KRIP, the Replacement Plan is projected to have assets having a value of between $190 million and $225 million which would allow Kodak to provide valuable benefits to its current employee base for the foreseeable future without additional cash cost to Kodak.
Under the terms of the 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendments, Kodak is obligated to use 100% of the net cash proceeds of any reversion from KRIP (“Reversion Proceeds”) to prepay Term Loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement until the amount of the Term Loans is reduced to $200 million and, thereafter, to use 50% of the Reversion Proceeds to prepay Term Loans until the amount of the Term Loans is reduced to $100 million, in each case plus a 1% prepayment fee. Reversion Proceeds not used to prepay Term Loans would be included in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement and could thereby trigger additional prepayment obligations under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement which cannot be estimated at this time. Assuming these obligations are not amended, waived or otherwise modified in the interim, no other prepayments are made in the interim, and Kodak uses the Reversion Proceeds to prepay only the minimum amount required under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, Kodak expects it would use approximately $380 million of the Reversion Proceeds to satisfy these obligations, leaving a Term Loan balance of approximately $160 million and yielding an annual interest cost savings of approximately $40 million. Based on all of the foregoing projections and after the projected prepayment of Term Loans, Kodak projects that it would receive cash or other assets from the KRIP surplus having a value of between $70 million and $160 million.
At the time the formal determination was made to terminate KRIP, Kodak estimated that it would take between 10 and 12 months to determine and satisfy KRIP’s liabilities and between 11 and 15 months before Kodak receives any Reversion Proceeds; however, these time frames are subject to factors beyond Kodak’s control including (i) the availability of an annuity product to satisfy KRIP’s annuity obligations at an acceptable cost and on acceptable terms, (ii) the continued conversion of investments into cash or other liquid assets at the pace currently anticipated, and (iii) regulatory review and approval of various aspects of the terms of KRIP, KRIP’s activities, and the termination and liquidation process.
Approximately $24 million and $27 million of letters of credit were issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The letters of credit under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement are collateralized by cash collateral (the “L/C Cash Collateral”). The L/C Cash Collateral was $25 million and $29 million at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which was classified as Restricted Cash.

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities declined $55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared with the corresponding period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in trade receivables of $61 million primarily driven by $40 million of cash
proceeds related to brand licensing received in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in miscellaneous receivables ($5 million).
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $14 million compared to the corresponding period in 2024 due to a decrease in proceeds received related to the sale of assets of $12 million and an increase in capital expenditures of $2 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $16 million compared to the corresponding period in 2024 primarily driven by the $17 million Amended and Restated Term Loan prepayment in the prior year period.
Other Collateral Requirements
The NYS WCB requires security deposits related to self-insured workers’ compensation obligations, which security deposits are recalculated annually. Due to changes in 2019 to the manner in which the required security deposit is determined, the Company has been required to post additional collateral over the last several years. At December 31, 2022, the Company posted $75 million of collateral, representing 107% of the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations. Effective May 1, 2023, the Company added New York to its existing workers compensation liability insurance policy and is no longer self-insured for future claims. As a result, the NYS WCB confirmed the Company will no longer be obligated to post any additional collateral. Further, the NYS WCB confirmed the Company can request a review of the security deposits supporting the historical liability beginning on July 1, 2025 with the submission of a current actuarial report. Based on the results of the actuarial valuation report, the required security deposits may be eligible for reduction in 2025 and future periods.
Based on the legacy nature of the Company’s workers’ compensation obligations, the undiscounted actuarial obligation has been declining and the Company expects this trend to continue. While it may not be indicative of the rate of future declines, the undiscounted actuarial liability declined by an average of $5.1 million per year between 2014 and 2024. Accordingly, subject to the possibility of other changes to the calculation of required security deposits by the NYS WCB, the Company expects the amount of the required security deposits to decline over time and the gradual return of the security deposits that have been made or the capital used to support such security deposits.
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company deposited $68 million directly with the NYS WCB and cancelled the corresponding letter of credit supporting the associated liability. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $45 million of surety bonds and $30 million deposited directly with the NYS WCB supporting the associated liability. The surety bonds are collateralized with $26 million of cash and the Company could be required to provide up to $19 million of cash or letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds in the future to fully collateralize the bonds.
Other Uses of Cash Related to Financing Transactions
The holders of the Term Loans are entitled to quarterly cash interest payments at a rate of 7.5% per annum and holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. All interest and dividends have been paid when due.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made net contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $7 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans in the first three months of 2025. For the balance of 2025, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its pension and postretirement plans are approximately $7 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $12 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Kodak expects approximately $30 million to $40 million of total capital expenditures for 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The accounting policies most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments are described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As noted in the 2024 Form 10-K, Kodak operates and conducts business in many foreign countries and as a result is exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in the global financial markets could increase the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates which would, in turn, impact sales and net income. For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk and how market risk is mitigated, refer to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" and Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk", contained in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Kodak maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Kodak’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Kodak’s management, with the participation of Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Kodak is in the process of a multi-year project to modernize and enhance the Company’s global information technology systems, to improve and standardize business and financial processes and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of financial planning and reporting. As the phased implementation occurs, it may result in changes to processes and procedures which may result in changes to internal controls over financial reporting. As such changes occur, Kodak evaluates whether they materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes identified in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting.
