Kodak Reports First-Quarter 2019 Financial Results

ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today reported financial results for
the first quarter 2019, including a net loss of $18 million on revenues
of $291 million and continued growth in key product areas.

Highlights include:

  • GAAP net loss of $18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019,
    compared to a GAAP net loss of $25 million for the quarter ended March
    31, 2018.
  • Revenues for Q1 2019 of $291 million compared to revenues for Q1 2018
    of $318 million.
  • Operational EBITDA for the quarter of negative $6 million compared to
    Operational EBITDA of negative $9 million in the prior-year period.
  • Key product lines achieved strong year-over-year growth for the first
    quarter 2019:
    • Volume for KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates grew by 22 percent.
    • Annuity revenues for the KODAK PROSPER inkjet platform grew by 12
      percent.
  • The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $240 million.
  • The company completed the sale of its Flexographic Packaging Division
    to Montagu Private Equity LLP on April 8, 2019 and used the net
    proceeds to pay down $312 million of its term debt.

Completing the sale of our Flexographic Packaging Division and using
the net proceeds to significantly pay down our term debt was a major
step toward strengthening our financial position,” said Jim Continenza,
Kodak’s Executive Chairman. “Our focus has shifted to completing the
refinancing of the remaining balance of our debt and realigning our
business to better serve customers and achieve our goal of generating
cash.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, revenues decreased by
approximately $27 million compared with the same period in 2018. Kodak
ended the quarter with a cash balance of $240 million, down from the
December 31, 2018 cash balance of $246 million.

We significantly paid down our term debt and delivered continued strong
performance in our key growth areas of SONORA Process Free Plates and in
PROSPER inkjet annuities,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “We
expect to secure new financing for our remaining term debt by the end of
May, which will further strengthen our balance sheet.”

APPENDICES

A. NON-GAAP MEASURES

In this first-quarter 2019 financial results news release, reference is
made to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

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

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

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational
EBITDA”). The change in revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant
currency basis, as presented in this financial results news release, is
calculated by using average foreign exchange rates for the three months
ended March 31, 2018, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect
for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure
of Net Loss to Operational EBITDA for the three months ended March 31,
2019 and 2018, respectively:

         
(in millions)
Q1 2019 Q1 2018

Footnote Explanations:

(1)   As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
(2) Consulting and other costs are primarily professional services and
internal costs associated with certain corporate strategic
initiatives.
(3) Consists of third-party costs such as security, maintenance and
utilities required to maintain land and buildings in certain
locations not used in any Kodak operations and the costs, net of any
rental income received, of underutilized portions of certain
properties.
(4) The impact of foreign exchange represents the foreign exchange
impact using average foreign exchange rates for the three months
ended March 31, 2018, rather than the actual exchange rates in
effect for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
