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, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to Kodak's new organization structure as of February 2023. Refer to Note 17, "Segment Information" and Note 9, "Revenue" for additional information.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016‐13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016‐13 (as amended by ASUs 2018‐19, 2019‐04, 2019‐05, 2019‐10, 2019‐11, 2020‐02, 2020‐03 and 2022‐02) requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available‐for‐sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The ASU is effective for Kodak for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022 ( January 1, 2023 for Kodak). Kodak adopted the new standard on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach and it did not have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Kodak records allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses inherent in the asset over its expected life. The allowance for credit losses is maintained based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Kodak records a specific reserve for individual accounts when Kodak becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable to Kodak.

NOTE 4: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (“KLIM”) as lenders (the “Term Loan Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with (i) an initial term loan in the amount of $
On June 30, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Existing 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 “Refinancing Term Loan Lenders”) and the Agent.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Amendment, the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $
On July 21, 2023, the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement became effective and the Company completed its borrowing of the Refinancing Term Loans. The Company received net proceeds of $
The Term Loan Amendment also amended and restated the Existing 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 or any extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Existing 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 Agent.

The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement does contain 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 inter-company indebtedness. Material Indebtedness includes obligations having a principal amount of at least $
On an annual basis, the Company will prepay, within 10 business days following the filing of annual Form 10-K, outstanding Loans in an amount equal to Excess Cash Flow (“ECF”) as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement provided no such prepayment is required if such prepayment would cause U.S. liquidity to be less than $
Board Rights Agreement
On June 30, 2023, in connection with the execution of the Term Loan Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Board Rights Agreement Amendment") to the letter agreement with KLIM, dated February 26, 2021 (the “Existing Board Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Board Rights Agreement Amendment, KLIM's right to nominate one individual for election as a member of the Company’s board of directors will last until the date on which KLIM ceases to hold at least $200 million of the original principal amount of Refinancing Term Loans. The individual nominated pursuant to the Existing Board Rights Agreement was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors on April 1, 2021 and has been elected to serve one‐year terms at each of the annual meetings since May 19, 2021.

Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement
On March 14, 2023, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into amendment No. 5 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the Company's asset based loan facility from February 26, 2024 to the earliest of June 12, 2024, the termination of the 2023 Amended L/C Facility Agreement (as defined below) 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 refinancings of any of the foregoing; (ii) require the Company to maintain daily Minimum Liquidity of $
If Minimum Liquidity fell below the daily or quarterly required minimum an Event of Default would have occurred, in which case the Agent had the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be due and payable.
On July 21, 2023, the Company used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans to repay in full the amounts outstanding under its 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Prepayment”). Upon the administrative agent’s receipt in full of the ABL Prepayment, the Existing ABL Credit Agreement was terminated and the lenders’ security interest in any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries assets or property securing the Existing ABL Credit Agreement was released.
The revolving loans bore interest at the rate of per annum based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator). The Company paid an unused line fee of basis points per annum, depending on whether the unused portion of the maximum amount available is less than or equal to 50% or greater than 50%, respectively. The Company paid a letter of credit fee of 3.50%‐4.00% per annum, based on Excess Availability, on issued and outstanding letters of credit, in addition to a fronting fee of

The 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement limited, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments and (v) make investments. The 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement leaves in place customary affirmative covenants, including delivery of certain of the Company’s financial statements set forth therein.

On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “L/C Facility Agreement”, and together with the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) 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.

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. 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 June 30, 2023, Kodak’s Brazilian Operations maintained accruals of approximately $
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 June 30, 2023, Kodak’s Brazilian operations have posted security composed of $
The Company has received five requests under New Jersey law demanding, among other things, that the Company take certain actions in response to alleged breaches of fiduciary duty relating to option grants and securities transactions and alleged proxy statement disclosure deficiencies (each a “Derivative Demand”, and collectively the “Derivative Demands”) in the context of an announcement on July 28, 2020 (the “DFC Announcement”) by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (the “DFC”) regarding the signing of a non-binding letter of interest to provide a subsidiary of the Company with a potential $
On May 19, 2021 Louis Peters, one of the persons making a Derivative Demand (“Peters”), commenced a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company against certain officers and current and former directors of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Monroe County seeking damages and equitable relief based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment resulting from stock trades, option grants and a charitable contribution in the context of the DFC Announcement of the potential DFC Loan and DFC Pharmaceutical Project (the “State Derivative Lawsuit”). The plaintiff filed an amended complaint in the State Derivative Lawsuit on August 23, 2021, and the Company and individual defendants filed motions to dismiss (or alternatively, in the case of the Company, a motion for summary judgment) in the State Derivative Lawsuit on October 22, 2021. On March 17, 2022, the court issued an order staying the State Derivative Lawsuit pending the resolution of the Federal Derivative Lawsuit described below.
On September 2, 2021 Herbert Silverberg, another person making a Derivative Demand (“Silverberg”), commenced a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company against one current and one former director of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant in the Federal District Court for the Western District of New York seeking damages and equitable relief on a basis overlapping with the State Derivative Lawsuit and alleged proxy statement misrepresentations and omissions. On October 4, 2021 Peters commenced a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company against the same parties named in the State Derivative Lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of New York seeking damages and equitable relief on a basis overlapping with the State Derivative Lawsuit and alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Federal derivative lawsuits filed by Silverberg and Peters were consolidated into a single proceeding (the “Federal Derivative Lawsuit”) on January 18, 2022, and Peters was appointed as lead plaintiff in the Federal Derivative Lawsuit. An amended consolidated complaint combining the allegations contained in the Federal derivative lawsuits filed by Silverberg and Peters was filed in the Federal Derivative Lawsuit on February 16, 2022, and the Company and individual defendants served motions to dismiss or, in the alternative in the case of the Company, for summary judgment on April 15, 2022. Threshold discovery in the case has been completed, and the Company and individual defendants formally filed their motions to dismiss on September 30, 2022. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motions to dismiss/for summary judgment on November 14, 2022, and the Company and the individual defendants filed responses to the plaintiffs’ opposition on December 27, 2022 and December 23, 2022, respectively.
Additional shareholder derivative lawsuits may be brought based on the other Derivative Demands (any such lawsuits, collectively with the State Derivative Lawsuit, the Federal Derivative Lawsuit and the Fiduciary Class Action, the “Fiduciary Matters”). The Company, acting through a Special Committee of Independent Directors, previously determined that there was no merit to the claims alleged by the Derivative Demands made through the time of its determination (except with respect to the charitable contribution, which was not fully considered by the Special Committee). See the Company’s Current Report on Form 8‐K filed with the SEC on September 16, 2020. The Company, acting through a separate Special Litigation Committee of Independent Directors, concurred with the first Special Committee’s findings and further concluded that it is not in the Company’s interest to bring or allow any other shareholder to assert any of the claims alleged by the State Derivative Lawsuit or Federal Derivative Lawsuit (with the exception of the Peters claim purportedly arising under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, which was not addressed as no demand was made with respect to such claim). The second Special Litigation Committee will carefully review any other additional complaints constituting Fiduciary Matters which may be filed.
The DFC Announcement has also prompted investigations by several congressional committees, the SEC and the New York Attorney General’s office. The Company has cooperated in those investigations.
As previously reported, the Attorney General of the State of New York (the “NYAG”) has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer alleging violations of New York State’s Martin Act (the “Threatened Claim”). In connection with the Threatened Claim and pursuant to a special process under New York law, in 2021 additional documents were produced by the Company to the NYAG and the NYAG took testimony of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel. The Company had discussions with the NYAG regarding a potential resolution of the Threatened Claim in the spring of 2022, but those discussions did not result in a resolution. If the Threatened Claim is ultimately brought by the NYAG, the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the Threatened Claim.
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. 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 13: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share computations 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.

Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”).
As demonstrated in the above table, Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) 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; consulting and other costs; idle costs; interest expense, other operating income, net and other (charges) income, net.
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"). The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP. Research and Development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.
NOTE 18: BUSINESS COMBINATION
On May 26, 2023 Kodak acquired
The acquisition was immaterial to Kodak's financial position as of June 30, 2023 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
NOTE 19: 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. 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 income at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are remeasured through net income (both in Other charges (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations). The notional amount of such contracts open at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately $
The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

Kodak had
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.
The Company concluded that the Convertible Notes were considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of certain of the embedded conversion features were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes. The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder (“Optional Conversion”), the mandatory conversion by Kodak (“Mandatory Conversion”) and the conversion in the event of a fundamental transaction by the holder at the then applicable conversion rate (“Fundamental Change”). Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability. The derivative was in a liability position at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and was reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The derivative was being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value included in Other charges (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock are each considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion in the event of a Fundamental Change is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from both the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock and both are separately accounted for as a single derivative asset or liability. Both derivatives were in a liability position at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and were reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The derivatives are being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value included in Other charges (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $
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 and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The fair values of the embedded conversion features derivatives were calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements). The fair values of the embedded derivatives associated with the Convertible Notes and Series B and Series C Preferred Stock were calculated using a binomial lattice model.
The following tables present the key inputs in the determination of fair value for the embedded conversion features:

The Fundamental Change values at issuance were calculated as the difference between the total value of the Convertible Notes, Series B or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Convertible Notes are repaid at their maturity date or Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are redeemed on their redemption date and the values of the other embedded derivatives. The Fundamental Change values reduce the value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability. Other than events that alter the likelihood of a fundamental change or reorganization event, the value of the Fundamental Change reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time.
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.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials and chemicals. Kodak provides industry-leading hardware, software, consumables and services primarily to customers in commercial print, packaging, publishing, manufacturing and entertainment. 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, allows Kodak to attract customers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.
Consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $295 million and $573 million, respectively, a decrease of $26 million (8%) and $38 million (6%) when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Currency had no impact on revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 and unfavorably impacted revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 ($10 million).
Print revenues, which accounted for 73% and 74% of Kodak’s total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, declined by $37 million (15%) and $56 million (12%) compared to the prior year quarter and six-month periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, volume for SONORA Process Free Plates declined by 9% and 11%, respectively, or improved 3% and declined 5%, respectively, when including volume under a royalty-based licensing agreement. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenue improved $11 million (18%) and $18 million (16%), respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
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, changes in foreign exchange rates, the war in Ukraine, and other global events which impact Kodak’s operations. Kodak is experiencing supply chain disruptions, shortages in materials and labor, and increased labor, material and distribution costs as well as volume declines for certain businesses.
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.
Kodak has also implemented various pricing actions in response to increased labor, material and distribution costs primarily within its Print and Advanced Materials and Chemicals segments. In order to mitigate the impact of higher aluminum, energy and packaging costs, the Print segment implemented surcharges on purchases of plates largely beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2021 that continue to be periodically reviewed and adjusted for accordingly.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has 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. Kodak has increased headcount in this segment to better meet demand, but expects that supply will continue to be constrained by manufacturing equipment limitations without further capital improvements.
Due to current global economic conditions and pricing actions, the Print segment is experiencing a slowdown in customer demand for plates that negatively impacted volume. Kodak has implemented various actions in response, including supply chain and workforce optimization, productivity improvements and other cost savings that are projected to mitigate the impact of lower volumes. However, the potential worsening of economic conditions and the negative impact on customer demand due to further pricing actions could unfavorably impact this segment's operating results.
Kodak continues to monitor the rapidly evolving events surrounding the war in Ukraine and the various sanctions imposed in response to the war. Kodak is in compliance with all sanctions. Kodak is experiencing worldwide supply constraints for aluminum and electronic components, and increased energy and transportation costs due in part to the war in Ukraine. The extent to which the military conflict in Ukraine will continue to impact the global economy and Kodak's business and operations remains uncertain.
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 direct operations in Russia. 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 2022), and there were no material impacts on the consolidated results of operations as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 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 duration of supply chain disruptions and slowdown in customer demand, the ability to secure raw materials and components and the ability to offset higher labor, material and distribution costs through pricing actions.
Kodak’s strategy:
The film industry and segments within the print industry face competition from digital substitution. Kodak’s strategy is to:
| ● |
Focus product investment in core competency areas of print and advanced materials, leveraging Kodak’s proprietary technologies to deliver technologically advanced products in the product goods packaging, graphic communications, and functional printing markets; |
| ● |
Grow revenues through a focus on customers in Kodak’s print division, increasing overall share; |
| ● |
Promote the use of film and expand the applications of Kodak’s film and chemicals to best utilize the existing infrastructure; and |
| ● |
Continue to streamline processes to drive cost reductions and improve operating leverage. |
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
| ● |
Print’s digital plate products include traditional digital plates and Kodak SONORA Process Free Plates. SONORA Process Free Plates allow Kodak customers to skip the plate processing step prior to mounting plates on a printing press. This improvement in the printing process saves time and costs for customers. Also, SONORA Process Free Plates reduce the environmental impact of the printing process because they eliminate the use of chemicals (including solvents), water and power that is otherwise required to process a traditional plate. The segment's digital plate products are experiencing challenges from higher prices and availability of raw materials, digital substitution and competitive pricing pressures. Kodak seeks to mitigate the impact of increases in manufacturing costs, including aluminum prices, through a combination of surcharges and price increases, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, Kodak seeks to offset the impact of short-term and long‐term market dynamics on pricing and volume pressures through innovations in Kodak product lines, including investing in digital print technologies. |
| ● |
In Print's digital printing businesses, the PROSPER business is expected to grow as the legacy VERSAMARK business continues to decline as a percentage of the segment’s total revenue. The PROSPER Inkjet Systems business is expected to continue to build profitability. Kodak launched the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press in June 2022. The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press enables commercial, publishing and newspaper printers to compete more effectively with offset and to shift more long run jobs from conventional printing processes to inkjet. During the second quarter of 2023, Kodak placed its first PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press and expects it to be in production during the third quarter of 2023. Investment in the next generation technology, ULTRASTREAM, is focused on the ability to place ULTRASTREAM writing systems in Kodak branded presses and in various original equipment manufacturers in applications ranging from commercial print to packaging. The first flexible packaging printing system utilizing Kodak’s ULTRASTREAM inkjet technology was placed during the second quarter of 2022. In addition, Kodak officially launched the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Digital Press utilizing Kodak’s ULTRASTREAM inkjet technology, which offers offset print quality in a smaller footprint. During the second quarter of 2023, Kodak placed its first KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Digital Press and expects it to be in production during the third quarter of 2023. Kodak's Electrophotographic Printing Solutions business ceased manufacturing NEXFINITY and ASCEND printers effective December 2022. Kodak will continue to offer ink and other consumables as well as provide service to its installed base of printers. |
| ● |
Advanced Materials and Chemicals is using Kodak’s deep expertise in chemistry and strengths in deposition and coating processes that come from decades of experience in film manufacturing to work on new initiatives: |
| o |
Electric Vehicle (“EV”)/Energy Storage Battery Material Manufacturing - Coating of substrates is a critical aspect of manufacturing materials for batteries and Kodak plans to capitalize on its expertise in coating technology to develop opportunities in this area. Kodak is currently in the process of expanding its pilot coating facility. On July 13, 2022, Kodak invested $25 million to acquire a minority preferred equity interest in Wildcat Discovery Technologies, Inc. (“Wildcat”), a private technology company that uses proprietary methods to research and develop new battery materials, including an EV battery. Kodak has also entered into an agreement to provide coating and engineering services in collaboration with Wildcat to develop and scale film coating technologies. Wildcat has granted Kodak certain rights to negotiate a production or licensing arrangement with Wildcat when and if Wildcat’s technology reaches commercial readiness. |
| o |
Light-Blocking Technology - Kodak plans to leverage a proprietary technology initially developed for electrophotographic toners to commercialize a carbon‐less fabric coating designed to offer superior light management, from complete blackout to selective light filtering, and coating compatibility with an unmatched range of fabrics. Kodak is installing a production-scale coating machine to coat fabrics in Eastman Business Park, located in Rochester, NY. |
| o |
Transparent Antennas - Kodak plans to leverage its proprietary copper micro‐wire technologies and high‐resolution printing expertise to contract‐manufacture custom transparent antennas for automotive, commercial construction, and other applications requiring excellent radio frequency (“RF”) and optical performance. The integration of antennas is growing worldwide due to the rapid expansion of 5G and an overall increase in RF communications, and the ubiquity of glass surfaces makes transparent antennas attractive for multiple end‐use markets. |
| o |
Reagent Manufacturing - Kodak plans to capitalize on its existing chemical manufacturing expertise, including current production of unregulated Key Starting Materials for pharmaceuticals, to implement an expansion into manufacturing Diagnostic Test Reagent solutions. Kodak has started construction of a lab and manufacturing facility to manufacture reagents for healthcare applications within an existing building located at Eastman Business Park. |
| ● |
Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at Eastman Business Park, which helps cost absorption for both Kodak operations and tenants at Eastman Business Park. |
| ● |
Kodak plans to capitalize on its intellectual property through new business or licensing opportunities in 3D printing materials, smart material applications, and printed electronics markets. |

Consolidated SG&A decreased $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower consulting and other costs associated with investigations and litigation ($2 million) and $1 million of income representing insurance reimbursement of legal costs previously paid by the Company associated with investigations and litigation partially offset by the net change in employee benefit and workers' compensation reserves ($1 million). Consolidated SG&A decreased $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower consulting and other costs primarily associated with investigations and litigation ($4 million) and $11 million of income representing insurance reimbursement of legal costs partially offset by higher stock-based compensation costs ($2 million) and the net change in employee benefit and workers' compensation reserves ($2 million).
Research and Development Costs
Consolidated R&D expenses were flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Pension Income Excluding Service Cost Component
Pension income excluding service cost component increased $14 million and $24 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 12, "Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits".

As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
Kodak decreased employee benefit reserves by approximately $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by changes in discount rates. The change in employee benefit reserves in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was less than $1 million.
Kodak decreased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $4 million and $8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, driven by changes in discount rates. The decrease in reserves in the three months ended June 30, 2022 impacted gross profit by approximately $2 million and SG&A by approximately $2 million. The decrease in reserves in the six months ended June 30, 2022 impacted gross profit by approximately $5 million and Selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $3 million.
Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). Operational EBITDA represents the earnings from operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and OPEB income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; interest expense, other operating income, net and other (charges) income, net.
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after the allocation of corporate SG&A expenses. The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP. Research and development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
Kodak recorded charges of $5 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The charges recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of $7 million of severance charges and a net credit of $1 million in exit costs, as Kodak settled certain supplier obligations related to the cessation of manufacturing of the Electrophotographic Printing Solutions equipment products for less than the contractual amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $2 million and $5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The restructuring actions implemented in the first six months of 2023 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $7 million, which are expected to reduce future annual SG&A and Cost of revenues expenses by $3 million and $4 million, respectively. The majority of the annual savings are expected to be in effect by the end of the second quarter of 2024 as actions are completed.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management’s Assessment of Liquidity
Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $223 million, an increase of $6 million from December 31, 2022.
The financing transactions entered into during the third quarter of 2023 (see “July 21, 2023 Financing Transactions” below for further information) and prior financing transactions provided additional liquidity to the Company to fund on‐going operations and obligations, 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, cash proceeds from the July 21, 2023 Financing Transactions and cash flows from operating activities including the expected cash proceeds from brand licensing agreements. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximately $150 million and $152 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $73 million and $65 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, outstanding inter-company loans to the U.S. were $392 million and $399 million, respectively, which include short-term inter-company loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $105 million and $109 million, respectively. In China, where approximately $27 million and $24 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $80 million inter‐company loan from one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries with a maturity date of November 16, 2024, the proceeds of which were in turn loaned to the Company. The inter‐company loan is required to be repaid in the next two years in four equal installments, with the first $20 million installment due by November 16, 2023 and the remaining installments due in 2024. The 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. If the inter‐company loan is not extended, refinanced or amended and the Hong Kong subsidiary does not pay any of the installments by the end of the 30‐day grace period following notice by the Chinese subsidiary after a failure to pay on the due date of such installment, the Hong Kong subsidiary would default on the inter‐company loan. The Company intends to pursue alternatives that will allow it and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations to each other while minimizing the impact on U.S. liquidity.
Kodak's cash flows continue to be negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions, shortages in materials and labor, increased labor, commodity and distribution costs and slowdown in customer demand related to global economic conditions. The impacts from price increases, continued cost reduction actions and supply chain-related cost improvements that have largely been implemented during 2022 have positively impacted Kodak’s operations during the first six months of 2023. The economic uncertainty surrounding the current inflationary environment and other global events represents 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 war in Ukraine, and other factors such as the ability to continue to secure raw materials and components, the impact of rising costs of labor, commodity and distribution costs, or how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Kodak's plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include growing revenues profitably through pricing actions, implementing effective working capital utilization, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the organizational structure, investing in information technology systems to drive operational efficiencies, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets or through new licensing opportunities and implementing ways to reduce cash collateral needs.
Kodak believes its liquidity position is adequate to fund its operating and investing needs and to provide the flexibility to respond as necessary to ordinary changes in the business and economic environment. Kodak’s ability to adequately fund its long‐term liquidity, debt servicing and capital requirements will be dependent on generating positive cash flows from operations, managing world‐wide cash through intercompany loans, distributions or other mechanisms, and the ability to convert, redeem or extend the existing Series B and Series C Preferred Stock past their current maturities of May 26, 2026.
July 21, 2023 Financing Transactions:
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement and, as amended and restated by the Term Loan Amendment, the “Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (“KLIM”) as lenders (the “Refinancing Term Loan Lenders”) and the Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Amendment, the Refinancing Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million (the “Refinancing Term Loans”).
On July 21, 2023, the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement became effective and the Company completed its borrowing of the Refinancing Term Loans. The Company received net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans of approximately $435 million, of which $318 million, representing the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans plus accrued paid-in-kind or unpaid cash interest, was paid by the Company to refinance the obligations under the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement.
Approximately $28 million of the net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans were used to repay in full the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes, representing the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued paid-in-kind interest.
In addition, the Company repaid in full the amounts outstanding under its Existing ABL Credit Agreement, used $59 million of the net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans to fund the L/C Cash Collateral account and paid approximately $1 million in fees in connection with the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement (defined below).
The remaining net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans of approximately $29 million will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and working capital needs.
The Term Loan Amendment also amended and restated the Existing 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 or any extensions or refinancings of any of the foregoing, (ii) make certain other changes to the terms of the Existing 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 Agent.
The Refinancing Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable in cash and 5.0% per annum payable “in-kind” or in cash at the Company’s option, for an aggregate interest rate of 12.5% per annum.
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 does contain 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 inter-company indebtedness. Material Indebtedness includes obligations having a principal amount of at least $20 million (increasing to $25 million after the Deleveraging Milestone Date). The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement does not include a financial maintenance covenant or any subjective acceleration clauses.
ABL Credit Agreement
The Company had approximately $58 million letters of credit outstanding under the 2023 Amended ABL Credit Agreement and Amended ABL Credit Agreement as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As noted above, the Company repaid in full the amounts outstanding under its existing ABL Credit Agreement and the agreement was terminated. The lenders’ security interest in any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries assets or property securing the existing ABL Credit Agreement was released.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
The Company had approximately $41 million and $43 million letters of credit outstanding under the L/C Facility Agreement as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The letters of credit under the 2023 L/C Facility Agreement are collateralized by cash collateral (L/C Cash Collateral). The L/C Cash Collateral was $43 million and $44 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which was classified as Restricted Cash.
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 committed to issue additional letters of credit on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, to an aggregate principal amount of commitments of up to $100 million (the “L/C Facility Commitments”), until August 30, 2023, upon which the aggregate L/C Facility Commitments will reduce to $50 million, provided that, at all times, the Company posts 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”). With the funding from the net proceeds from the Refinancing Term Loans, the balance on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral account was increased by an additional $59 million. The L/C Facility Agreement does not include a minimum liquidity or financial maintenance covenant.
The Company expects to directly cash collateralize all or a substantial portion of its undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations with The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (“NYS WCB”) to reduce the aggregate L/C Facility Commitments to $50 million prior to August 30, 2023.

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities improved $124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared with the corresponding period in 2022 primarily due to improved earnings, proceeds from insurance reimbursements and a refund from a governmental authority, decreased investment in inventory and a decrease in trade receivables, partially offset by a reduction in trade payables. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Kodak received $16 million of insurance reimbursement proceeds of legal costs previously paid by the Company associated with investigations and litigation matters and a $9 million refund from a governmental authority.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $2 million compared to the corresponding period in 2022 due to an increase in additions to properties.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $49 million compared to the corresponding period in 2022 driven by the net proceeds of $49 million received in the second quarter of 2022 from the Delayed Draw Term Loans.
Other Uses of Cash Related to Financing Transactions
The holders of the Refinancing 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. The holders of the 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. All interest and dividends have been paid when due.
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 deposits are determined, the Company has been required to post additional collateral over the last several years. At June 30, 2023, the Company had 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, including the previously disclosed 50% credit rating based assessment. 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.
Based on the legacy nature of the Company’s workers’ compensation obligations, the undiscounted actuarial obligation has been declining and the Company expects it to continue to decline. While it may not be indicative of the rate of future declines, the undiscounted actuarial liability declined by an average of $5.5 million per year between 2014 and 2022. 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 anticipates the gradual return of the capital used to support the security deposits that have been made.
As a result of the Company’s credit ratings, during the second quarter of 2020 two surety bond holders notified the Company they required approximately $9 million of incremental collateral. The Company reduced the surety bond value by approximately $9 million in July 2020 with an equivalent increase to an existing letter of credit with the NYS WCB. In July 2023 the Company deposited $19 million directly with the NYS WCB and cancelled the corresponding surety bond supporting the associated liability. The Company could be required to provide up to $4 million of letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds in the future to fully collateralize the bonds.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made net contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $6 million to its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans in the first six months of 2023. For the balance of 2023, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its pension and postretirement plans are approximately $7 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flow from investing activities included $11 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Kodak expects approximately $30 million to $40 million of total capital expenditures for 2023.
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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2022.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As noted in the 2022 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 2022 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.
On May 16, 2023, Kodak acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Graphic Systems Services, Inc. (“GSS”). GSS represented less than 1% of consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and less than 1% of consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2023. As permitted by the SEC, Kodak elected to exclude GSS from its assessment of changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting 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.
See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which Kodak is involved.
See the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. of the 2022 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of risk factors that could materially affect Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
